Welcome to the latest my.Wildlife eBulletin. Jump into wildlife this month – we need more volunteers for Seagrass-Watch in Moreton Bay; jump straight in and read the latest Wildlife Queensland news available online right now; jump at the chance to work for Wildlife Queensland in head office; and don’t hesitate to donate to Wildlife Queensland’s 2009 Annual Appeal.

Congratulations to the 3 winners of our April 2009 my.Wildlife competition – Braden, Robin and Malu – whose names were randomly drawn from the list of many entrants who correctly answered all 3 questions. The lucky under-14s each win a copy of John Long’s The big picture book of environments, kindly donated by publishers Allen & Unwin.

2009 Annual Appeal

The economic downturn has hurt many of us – but should we allow wildlife to suffer too?

Our annual appeal letter will be mailed out to supporters next week. Please be generous and help us provide a voice for wildlife in Queensland in the future and beyond.
