It’s February ...

WHICH MEANS frog-finding time in this part of the world! I absolutely love this brilliant annual program by the Mary River Catchment Coordinating Committee.

Check out how you can get involved and let’s learn more about our froggy friends in the neighbourhood. Do you love frogs as much as I do? Although I did briefly love them less after one landed on my face one time, I must say.

We have more of our awesome local wildlife being celebrated in this issue, with the feel-good story of Thomas the turtle heading back into the ocean after being nursed back to health thanks to our incredible local volunteers.

We are so, so fortunate to have such wonderful, varied, and unique wildlife in this region – but I have to say that the wildlife is also fortunate to have such caring and dedicated people keeping an eye on them and helping them continue to thrive even with the challenges they face.

More nature-y stuff this month too, with World Wetlands Day on 2 February. Our local wetlands are precisely why we have such an interesting range of flora and fauna so it is important that we celebrate it - and conserve it.

I can’t wait to see what frogs you find! And please continue to keep an eye out for turtles needing help –contact TurtleCare if you find any so that they can live happily ever after like Thomas.

Stay safe and be kind to each other.
