What’s Big Scrub Rainforest Day about?
Big Scrub Rainforest Day, now in its eighth year and will be held at Rocky Creek Dam inland from Byron Bay on Sunday the 10th of September. The celebration starts at 7am with bird watching walks and continues until 4 pm with presentations, workshops, guided walks and performances.
This year following the official opening will be the welcome to county by the Widjabal Elders. You can then learn the latest techniques in weed control, seed collection, plant propagation and rainforest regeneration techniques. You can also learn about gardening with local native plants, growing cabinet timbers and interesting pursuits like eco-motoring with bio diesel.
Big Scrub Rainforest Day has inspired and educated thousands of landholders and volunteers to tackle weeds, plant trees and get passionate about rainforests since 1999. Through its innovative, fun program, the event engages the whole community - not just those converted to rainforest restoration and landcare.
Started by Rainforest Rescue and the Big Scrub Rainforest Landcare Group, Big Scrub Rainforest Day has grown to become the largest annual landcare education event in Australia. People travel from all over southeast Queensland, northern New South Wales and beyond to join the festivities and discover practical ways they can help the environment.
The educational focus of the day is complemented by fun activities for all the family. Play eco games with the children, try puppet making and enjoy the theatre performance. And there?s also yoga in the rainforest, mountain bike rainforest tours and market and food stalls contribute to a festival atmosphere.
A Free Bus service will run to and from the event and seats can be booked by calling Jim?s Alternative Tours on 02 6685 7720 if coming from Byron Bay or call EnviTE on 02 6621 9588 if coming from Lismore.
