Experience Blue Wren Reserve on Sunday, September 18 will spotlight the latest conservation achievements of the Friends of Blue Wren Reserve group.

The Stoneville reserve between Barkala and Cameron roads is among the attractions featured for National Biodiversity Month.

Ms Johnson said the event provided an opportunity for communities to learn about protecting the ecological health of their environment.

“Over the last 15 years, the Blue Wren Reserve group has successfully restored much of the reserve’s ecological health and biodiversity by increasing native habitat through revegetation efforts, managing dieback disease and removing weeds,” she said.
