The amazing contribution of our “Busy Bs” – birds, bees, butterflies and bats – is being celebrated at Redlands Coast IndigiScapes Environmental Centre to mark Australian Pollinator Week from 11-19 November.

Redland City Mayor Karen Williams said a host of captivating activities, presentations and workshops had been organised to honour the efforts of these champions of our environment.

“Australian Pollinator Week, each spring, acknowledges just how vital our pollinators such as bees, birds, butterflies and even bats are – we simply cannot live without them,” Cr Williams said.

“To raise awareness of their importance and how we can look after them, Council’s IndigiScapes centre has organised a naturally wonderful week of community activities for all ages.

“You can learn more about the special role of pollinators inside the Discovery Centre, play interactive games using the Agents of Discovery app or join craft activities.

“IndigiScapes café and gift shop will also showcase a delectable selection of produce sourced from the hard work of these pollinators.

“If you’d like to make your garden more pollinator-friendly, pop into the nursery and get a special ‘pollinator pack’ comprising six native plants that will support local native wildlife species.”
