Upcoming SCEC Events
World Environment Day Festival 2022
We are excited to welcome you to the 42nd annual World Environment Day Festival (WED Fest)!
Last year, the festival was reimagined for the first time into a month long program of events and we were honored to receive the Queensland Partnerships for Landcare Award. This year, we are back again with a bespoke program of diverse experiences for all.
Together with our event partners we are delivering 16 events throughout the month of June in ecosystems throughout the broader Sunshine Coast region. Please RSVP below to be the first to know when tickets are released. Some events will have limited capacity.
The 2022 World Environment Day global campaign #OnlyOneEarth calls for transformative changes to policies and choices to enable cleaner, greener, and sustainable living in harmony with nature. Our festival creates immersive experiences for people to connect with the theme and take action for a greener future.

Green Drinks - June
Join us for Green Drinks Sunshine Coast!
Every month people who work in the environmental field meet up at informal sessions known as Green Drinks. These events happen throughout the world.
A lively mixture of people from NGOs, academia, government and business come together to network and share ideas. It's a great way of catching up with people you know and also for making new contacts. Everyone invites someone else along, so there’s always a different crowd, making Green Drinks an organic, self-organising network.
Please RSVP to attend, we look forward to connecting with you!

Join the ECOllaboration, Florabunda Bushcare and Sunshine Coast Council team for a morning of tree planting to restore riparian zones in Nambour.

WED Fest - Community led ecosystem restoration: Bancroft's Red Gum Reserve
We’re celebrating World Environment Day by having a free self-guided walk for all the family through Bancroft’s Red Gum Reserve in Little Mountain on Sunday 26 June
Come along and see how an area was transformed from cleared cattle grazing land to natural bushland. This happened over 9 years from 2009 to 2017 with many volunteers helping out by planting trees. Maybe you were one of them?
On the day of the walk kids can answer an Eco Quiz and go into the draw to win a children's e-scooter!
Sign on at the entrance to Bancroft’s Red Gum Reserve in Daintree Boulevard near the end of Village Way.
Just look for the yellow tent (pictured below) .
Register in advance to help give us an idea of numbers.
