Paddle at Patonga

 

Central Coast Community Environment Network (CCCEN) will conduct a tour of Patonga Creek on Sunday, May 9, from 9am to 12.30 pm.

This tour involves a paddle up Patonga Creek to gain a water bird's eye view of riparian vegetation.

During the three-hour tour, participants are expected to see bird life, insects, reptiles basking on the creek banks and perhaps even a turtle or two.

Participants will be encouraged to assess whether there is shelter, food and enough nest sites for native fauna.

The cost is $50 with morning tea and kayak hire and tuition included.

For details and bookings, ring Anita on 4349 4491.

The CCCEN has Bushcare, Landcare, Coastcare and Creekcare volunteers across the Coast who are rehabilitating the habitat of birds, mammals, frogs and other wildlife.

CCCEN's Riparian Rehabilitation Project is focusing on creeks and foreshores of Central Coast waterways.
