Thanks to our wonderful volunteers
To celebrate National Volunteer Week (10-16 May), Centennial Parklands held a Thank You lunch attended by over 30 of its volunteers. Steve Corbett, Director and Chief Executive of the Parklands, took the opportunity to thank the volunteers
for their time. He said: ‘The volunteer program has really taken off in 2010 and Centennial Parklands owes a great deal to the tireless and cheerful energy that the volunteers bring to the Parklands each week. As well as the wonderful work of the bush regeneration team, the Parklands now benefits from volunteer help in diverse areas such as bird surveying and pest carp removal. Thank you one and all.’
Launch of BIGnet birding database
The successful partnership between Birding NSW and Centennial Parklands continues to expand. In addition to the Bird Surveys conducted by volunteers and occurring regularly in the Parklands, Birding NSW recently committed to
developing an associated database. The database was launched in early April at the Bird Interest Group Network Meeting (BIGnet) held at the Centennial Parklands Learning Centre.
Happy Fishing for New Era Living Centre
The Ponds Group’s Carp removal program now includes a safe and exciting outing for the New Era Living Centre. New Era is a group comprising of 10 people with disabilities and their carers. The group comes to Centennial Park every month
to assist in the removal of European Carp which is an introduced environmental pest. Through such activities over 1,100
kilograms of carp have been removed from Centennial Parklands ponds.
