Garden Wildlife

Many of the clubs and societies give talks and workshops to help you learn how to encourage native wildlife in your garden. Such events happening around Qld sometimes appear in the Gardening Events Diary. (Submissions are welcome. Please go to the Diary for more information)

Note that native wildlife is variously protected by law. Feral animals also have issues. Please check with authorities if you have any problems or questions about dealing with wildlife in your district.

Where to buy nestboxes, birdfeeders and other wildlife accessories
