LUCI is moving… to a new website…our very own domain!  Please visit us there and put the new address is your favourites list http://www.lockyeruplandscatchmentsinc.org.au    We will maintain our old website for a few more months until you get used to visiting our new web address.

While understorey vegetation provides shelter for native wildlife, a shelter belt for humans, food resources for a range of insects and birds, acts as a soil stabiliser and fertiliser, it also delights with its plant diversity and their many beautiful blossoms.   These are some of the current smaller beauties.  

want to be able to distinguish a Enteropogon from a Cymbopogon, an Aristida from Ancistrachne and a Eriochloa from a Bothriochloa and many more species?  Then come along to LUCI’s Native Grasses of the Lockyer workshop with Dr Darren Fielder (Redleaf Environmental) on Sunday 20th September.   For more details visit LUCI’s website or contact lucatchmentsinc@gmail.com

Ever wondered what some moths do by daylight?  Ever thought about being a naturalist in your own backyard?   Then Paul Grimshaw’s delightful account of visitations by “Notchy”, the Donovan’s Day Moth will peak your interest on both counts.

Council now has an NRM STRATEGY  – the next step is action.   Have your say on what needs priority action and what is effective action to ensure “the region’s natural assets are valued and protected”.   LUCI can take your views to the next planning meeting on 15th February.

LVRC’s draft NRM Strategy is now available for public comment, closing date Sunday 1st December 2019.  Download a copy of the draft at lockyervalley.engagementhub.com.au
