Family Pollinator Day

IndigiScapes will host a range of activities during Australian Pollinator Week, highlighting native birds and bees, as well as pollinator species you might be less familiar with, including moths, wasps, flies and Flying-foxes. All contribute to the sustainable future of our forests, flowers and food crops and are vital to the health of our ecosystem.

Meet an adorable orphan Flying-fox with volunteers from Bat Conservation and Rescue Queensland and learn about how these power pollinators work to help put food on our table.

BirdLife South Queensland will join us to share their knowledge about the vital role of pollinator birds.
