Clean up call for Priors Creek
LOCALS are being encouraged to grab their hats and sunscreen and join Tablelands Regional Council and Tableland Yidinji Aboriginal Corporation later this month to clean up a stretch of Priors Creek.
“We’ve partnered with Wadjanbarra Tableland Yidinji to host this Great Northern Clean-Up event and contribute to the restoration of a beautiful natural asset right in the centre of Atherton,” Cr Con Spanos (pictured) said.
“We’ll be meeting at the Rail Trail near the Atherton Men’s Shed at 8.50am on Saturday 26 October and working along the creek in both directions until about 10.30am.
“Afterwards we’ll have a morning tea and you can chat to our staff about our Reef Guardian Council projects and how to get involved in other events.”
Council will provide clean-up kits that include gloves, pick-up utensils and bags. Participants need to wear a hat, long pants and sleeves and sunscreen, and bring plenty of water.
Places are limited and participants will need to sign up at www.trc.qld.gov.au/gn-clean-up by Friday 18 October to secure a spot.
