WORLD RIVERS DAY – Invasive Plant Removal Event and native plant planting @ ROBERTS CREEK!!

Our report for World Rivers Day last Sunday, September 28, 2025 was awesome! We had a huge group of volunteers that worked for two hours removing ivy and planting native plants! We had every age and we had fun!! 🙂

“World Rivers Day is a celebration of the world’s waterways. It highlights the many values of our rivers, strives to increase public awareness, and encourages the improved stewardship of all rivers around the world.  Rivers in virtually every country face an array of threats, and only through our active involvement can we ensure their health in the years ahead.” – https://worldriversday.com/about/

Please come out to join us as we celebrate our many creeks on the Sunshine Coast and meet some new friends!

Also, it will be spawning season, so you will see spawning salmon too as an added wonderful bonus!

EQUIPMENT NEEDED:
Please bring gloves, eye protection and small and/or large clippers and a watering can too! A small shovel and rake would help too!

WHAT TO WEAR: Please dress for the weather, rain gear (if raining) outdoor/gardening clothes that includes long sleeves, sturdy waterproof boots are a must and a hat is recommended.
