Explore the natural world this winter with the Peaks to Points Festival. Venture outside this winter to learn more about your local environment with the Peaks to Points Festival 2016, running from July 16–31 across Brisbane’s south side, from Ipswich, through Logan to the Redlands. Presented by the Brisbane City Council, the festival offers a host of free, hands-on events with an environmental focus. Local environment and community groups are joining forces to host a series of events over two weeks, including guided walks, tree planting and weeding activities, community forums, bus tours and workshops.

Sustainability guru, Roman Spur will be hosting workshops on Wicked Wicking and Food Fermentation. Young gardeners can also get their hands dirty with Little Green Thumbs, as they plant their own vegetable seedling and learn how to care for herbs and vegies. The Bugs Ed display is an interactive experience featuring amazing displays of insects, spiders and scorpions from around the world, plus live Australian insects.

Also check out the thrilling ExpressiveBikes Trials Show, displays of historic army jeeps, electric cars and farm animals from Corinda SHS. Enjoy the Bazil Grumble theatre presentation for children. Meet the members of local environment and community groups at the information stalls.

So join us to explore the beautiful natural places right on your doorstep and learn how you can help to protect these habitats and the native wildlife which depends on them.
