Celebrate World Wetlands Day with a Community Tree Planting at Cattana Wetlands, organised by Conservation Volunteers and Cairns Regional Council..
The international theme for 2012 World Wetlands Day is ‘Wetlands and Tourism- a great experience’.
Cattana Wetlands is around 80 hectares of degraded land which has rehabilitated into a nature conservation park. The land was purchased by the then Mulgrave Shire Council in 1993 to protect the lowland rainforest on the western end of the site which is described as the Feather Palm Forest. This is a remnant of what was once an extensive forest type in the Cairns Region.
Come along and join members from our local community and international volunteers to continue the long term rehabilitation of Cattana Wetlands. BBQ lunch will be provided.
Remember to wear closed in shoes, long sleeved shirt, sunscreen and a broad brimmed hat.
Conservation Volunteers will transport attendees from their Mooroobool office at 8am, or alternatively meet at Cattana at 9am.
For more information, contact Conservation Volunteers on 4032 0844.

DonateLife Week 2012, Australia’s national awareness week to promote organ and tissue donation, is urging all Australians to ask and know your loved ones' donation wishes.
Last year, a total of 337 Australians who tragically lost their lives, saved or improved the lives of 1001 people in need of an organ transplant.
In Australia, the family will always be asked to confirm the donation wishes of the deceased. Families that have discussed and know each other’s donation wishes are more likely to uphold those wishes. Only 57% of Australians know the donation wised of their loved ones.
DonateLife Week, Sunday 19 – Sunday 26 February 2012, is the ideal time to talk about organ and tissue donation with your loved ones, and to discuss their donation decision.

No experience necessary....you don't even have to be all that co-ordinated...you just need the desire to have fun and help put Cairns on the world record map.
The Cairns Regional Council runs free Zumba classes at Fogarty Park weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays.
To steal the World Record off the Brits we will need a little help from the people of Cairns and all our fantastic tourists.
The event will kick off at 3pm with music, entertainment, warm-ups, displays and giveaways. All participants have to be counted and in position by 5.30pm after which time the gates will be closed and no additional people can join the class. So please make sure you are here as early as possible.
All counted participants who finish the 30 minute class will receive a certificate and other giveaways including Grill'd burger vouchers.
There will be prizes for businesses, best dressed groups and individuals. So grab your family, friends and anyone else you can drag off the street and come down and be part of history.
