Event description

Join Friends of Mary Cairncross for Morning Tea at 9:30am, followed by a presentation by Cam Burton at 10:00am.

Cam Burton is the Landcare and Partnerships Manager at Barung Landcare.

Cam has been an environmental educator for many years and brings a wealth of practical expertise to the community. He is especially passionate about local rainforest and threatened species conservation and recovery. He is widely regarded for his knowledge of Sunshine Coast native plants and his commitment to sustainable land management practices.

Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve is home to the endangered Southern Pink Underwing moth. It relies on one single species of vine for survival – the Carronia vine (Carronia multisepatea) which is highly dependent on a healthy closed rainforest canopy and understory. This beautiful and charismatic moth has large brown forewings that provide camouflage by mimicking dying leaves and a flash of bright pink on the hindwings. The larval stage has some interesting aesthetic qualities and the caterpillar, when threatened, displays an amazing and dramatic 'mask'.

Fall in love with this endangered and fascinating moth and learn how you can be a part of its survival as Cam expertly provides us with greater knowledge of the Southern Pink Underwing Moth - its habits and habitats.

All Welcome. Free Admission.

Registration recommended to ensure your place and to assist with catering.
