2012 Clean Up Australia Day Marine-Care has registered a site at Wellington Point Reserve on Sunday, 4 March, 2012. Please click on this link to register. Help us help the environment. Volunteers can clean up the reserve, foreshore or walk out to King Island as it will be approaching low tide. UPDATES AND COMMENTS will be uploaded on my blog site: http://diannehausler.wordpress.com/clean-up-australia-day/ Marine Database Project I'm creating a detailed data base that will record Redland's marine life. Volunteering is easy: when visiting one of Redland's foreshores take note of the marine life, then send me an email that includes the date and location of where the species was found, a photo and time of observation. There is no need to know the species as I can identify the critter via your photo.

2012 Redland City Council election A new page on my blog site has been created. I will be using this page to keep Redlanders informed of issues. This page will also allow residents to submit comments. Koala numbers are declining The continued destruction of wildlife corridors and eucalypt trees in South-East Queensland means that koalas have to travel further to find suitable partners, food and habitat. This places them in more danger of being injured or killed by dogs and cars. Please drive carefully, and please report any sick or injured koala.

Pride of Australia Medal. WINNING the 2011 Queensland Pride of Australia Medal (environment category) was an honour, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the individuals who supported my environmental work. I would especially like to thank Jennifer Miller, Boyd Essex, Mark Robinson, Baz Bardoe, Jennifer Singfield and Nicky Meinhardt-Jensen. Finding a sick, stranded or injured marine animal can be a distressing sight but even more distressing is not knowing how to save it. For sick, injured or orphaned animals, please phone 1300 ANIMAL (1300 264 625). Green Turtle at Ormiston
