Let's help look after our reef together!

Tangaroa Blue Foundation's Great Barrier Reef Clean Up is back - and we're excited to get in on the action!

Spend a Sunday morning in nature with community-minded locals, removing litter from the edges of Ross Creek in Lou Lister Park, at the stadium overflow parking (see map below).

All rubbish collected with be sorted, counted and weighed, contributing to vital citizen science data!

Please wear sun-safe clothing, long pants and closed-in shoes. Gloves will be provided, but feel free to bring your own if you like. Morning tea will be provided, and water to refill your bottle.

Children under 15 are welcome but must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times. 

We'll meet under the shady tree opposite Officeworks (marked with a star on the map below) at 7.50am to kick off our safety briefing at 8am. We hope you can join us!

Did you know that only 8.3% of our beautiful state is protected? That's the lowest percentage of any state in Australia!

We want to see this number doubled, and we know it's possible!

Come along to our October Green Drinks to meet Matt Prisk - Queensland Conservation Council's Outdoor Community Campaigner. Matt and his colleagues have been building momentum to Protect Beautiful Queensland in SEQ, and now we're kicking things off up here in tropical North Queensland!

Whether you're keen to get involved in the campaign or just want to connect with like-minded people, we'd love you to join us.

Green Drinks is a casual networking event that is always warm, welcoming and informative. Why not bring a friend?
