MCCG Community page How do MCCG activities benefit the catchment?
Moggill Creek Catchment Group (MCCG) is a volunteer community action group working to conserve and improve the natural environment of the Moggill Creek catchment, an area comprising conservation parks, acreage properties and urban development. Moggill Creek and its tributaries are situated in the foothills of the D'Aguilar Range, in the outer western area of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The MCCG has the advantage of being able to provide practical solutions to local environmental problems. It does this with the support of the many experienced and dedicated volunteers that make up the organization. Specifically we:
• Assist landholders in revegetating private land; emphasizing the development and maintenance of habitat corridors between mountain ridges and streams.
• Manage environmental weeds on private and public land
• Provide native seedling plants from our Nursery to landholders
• Conduct catchment wide studies to monitor the state of the catchment
• Provide information and advice on revegetation, management of native flora and weed management
• Communicate with and educate landholders through our web site, newsletters, field days, working bees, seminars and reports
• Enlist and educate new volunteers
• Respond to development proposals and participate in discussions regarding development in the catchment
• Coordinate our activities with those of Brisbane City Council in particular and the Queensland Government and other Statutory organizations charged with legal responsibility for managing lands in the catchment
• Partner with other catchment groups, The Rural Environment Protection Association and other environmental groups
• Provide reports to our members and levels of government.

The recent long weekend was a rare opportunity for some children to volunteer at both bushcare (Sunday) and the Nursery (Monday).
Some local Kenmore girls who go to Pamphlett-Tennyson Sea Scouts wanted to do some volunteer time in the creek catchment. On Sunday they helped out at Rafting Ground park and then followed it up on Monday at the MCCG Nursery at Gold Creek Dam.
The verdict? - Apparently w**ding the seedlings is a lot more fun than watering and w**ding at bushcare 😊
🦋 Good news for the Richmond Birdwing Butterfly - the more vines the better! These native birdwing vines are also available from the MCCG Nursery 🐛🌿

Last Tuesday, 40 people attended our public talk where Callan Alexander gave us a very interesting presentation on how acoustic monitoring is being used by researchers on bird species. It is being particularly useful when working with cryptic, threatened species such as the powerful owl and Eastern bristlebird. Thanks again, Callan, and all those who attended.
