Have you spotted a koala lately? It’s that time of year (July to December) when our furry friends are on the move with dispersal time and breeding season in full swing. They can show up in the most unexpected places including suburban and rural backyards, as well as, face many dangers like crossing busy roads so we’re urging drivers to take care when travelling.
The Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation has had a busy month connecting with the community and being part of some great events including the EV expo, Noosa Come Together Festival and co-hosting the recent Stakeholder Symposium with a focus on establishing the region’s priorities and action plan for a Noosa & Region Agri-Hub.
