Above all things, keeping our city clean and green is critical to ensuring that Brisbane remains a liveable city for our children, and for future generations. This is why we choose to celebrate World Environment Day each year, and why I remain committed with our Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner to rolling out the most ambitious environmental agenda in our city’s history.
On this note, I would like to thank the Centenary and District Environment Action & Wolston and Centenary Catchment group – who helped us celebrate at the Pooh Corner Environment Centre on Sunday 5 June.
The event kicked off with a bird watching walk, followed by an environment hunt through the bush followed by a reptile show. We even had a visit from Recycleman, a superhero that teaches children about the importance of recycling.
We upcycled an old canvas and invited the children to use fresh eucalyptus and gum leaves to create a community painting. This will now be displayed at Pooh Corner Environment Centre.
Thank you to the CDEA and WACC for hosting this event and thank you to the Rotary Club of Jindalee, Wes from Council and Sheena’s Coffee Van for being part of this important day. !
