Caring for Water:<\/strong> To foster awareness of the importance and health of or\u00a0 waterways we offer hands on\u00a0 Macroinvertebrate\u00a0 Monitoring activities. Students learn how we <\/span>can use waterbugs as\u00a0 environmental indicators to get a quick snap shot of the health <\/span>of a waterway.<\/span><\/p> Through our connections with Seqwater we can help organise tours\u00a0<\/span>of the Ewan Maddock Dam Water treatment plant. Exploring the water cycle story,\u00a0<\/span>students can learn about how riparian health effects water quality and what we can\u00a0<\/span>do to look after our waterways and ensure healthy drinking water.<\/span><\/p>
We also offer iNaturalist training for\u00a0 students\/teachers so that schools can set up their own projects and students can be citizen scientists anytime\u00a0<\/span>and log their own findings. Mooloolah River Landcare is also one of the founders of\u00a0<\/span>the Sunshine Coast Big Butterfly Count. We will be hosting activities and pollinator\u00a0<\/span>counts in November and can help your school be part of this.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/div>
