🌱♻️Turning Trash into Treasure ♻️🌱

KFDC’s Community Composting Hub is cooking up nutrient-rich soil… but we need your help!

We’re looking for:
🥚 Empty egg cartons (cardboard ones please!)
🪴 Empty gardening soil/ mulch bags (any size please!)

These everyday items are ⭐️gold⭐️ for us!
🧑‍🍳 Egg cartons are used in the compost as carbon.
📦 Mulch bags are used for bagging the finished compost for you to use.

So if you’ve got some lying around, don’t throw them out! Bring them to us and turn your (would be) rubbish into a valuable resource 🌿♻️

📍 Drop off point: Place empty egg cartons and mulch bags inside the compost resting bay (pictured)
🕐 When: any day of the week, any time before 6pm

With your efforts, we can keep waste out of landfill and turn it into precious compost!! 🙌 🪴

Karawatha Forest Discovery Walk 🌳

We had a great walk along the Rocks Track with a lovely group!

🪾 Have you seen the funny little lines on some eucalyptus trees?
They’re made by a lavae (a baby moth) that lives under the bark. 🐛As the grub grows, it makes thicker and thicker tracks. Eventually, it turns into a moth, flies away, and lays eggs somewhere else.

Did you know? In some places like the Gold Coast, the scribbles look different to the ones in Karawatha — they spread out like a star from a single spot!

Next walk: Saturday 9 August — we’d love to see you there! 😊🌿

Karawatha Forest Discovery Walk!! 🌞🌳

We had a wonderful time exploring the Rock Circuit today with a lovely group!
Our knowledgeable volunteer guide shared lots of fun and fascinating facts about the forest.

🌱 Did you know? Wattles are super clever plants! What looks like a leaf is actually a flat stem that helps the plant save water in hot, dry conditions.

Our next guided walk is on Saturday, July 26th — we’d love to see you there!
