Volunteer in an activity

Our members organise loads of events where you can take an active part in protecting and restoring nature on Bribie Island. There are practical activities like weeding, planting, litter picking, leaflet dropping, and citizen science where anyone can chip in.

Make your garden flourish

If you plant the right plants, you will have birds and bees all over the place within weeks! Think of the amount of land covered by gardens. Then think of all the species that would thrive if that land was made into their home.

Offset your emissions

No, this is not about those emissions! Did you know you can pay people to plant trees and do other things to capture enough greenhouse gas emissions to cancel out yours? Got to be worth it.

Take on a task

There are tons of small tasks that our project teams need help with. Could be distributing leaflets, promoting events, selling books, or running a raffle. Every little helps.

Donate your containers

Do you enjoy a tipple? I bet you have a few bottles and cans you need to get rid of! Take them to a Containers for Change depot and donate them to BIEPA. We will funnel all the proceeds into our projects.

Cat

Keep your pets close

Domestic and feral cats kill 10 million animals a day in Australia. That's a staggering amount of unnecessary death. Ah, but Tibbles wouldn't hurt a fly, right? Wrong. You would be appalled at what your moggie gets up to at night! And don't get me started on dogs!! Keep your pets penned.

Windmills

Use green power

Want to use your oven without heating up the whole planet? Get your energy from the sun. Or wind. Or tides. Even if you don't have solar, you can easily switch to an energy provider who invests in renewable sources.

Coordinate a project

Our project coordinators are our most valued and powerful members. They get stuff done, mostly by getting others to do it! Are you good at building a team? Can you get everyone working towards a goal? Talk to us!

Go over to the dark side

Have you been outside at night and looked at the stars? Seems to be less than there used to be? Spoiler alert: they're still there, we just can't see them because of all the light pollution! Learn how to shield your lights and keep the nights dark for the sake of all those critters that thrive on the dark side.

Voting

Vote for values

The biggest challenges we face require the biggest changes. We're fortunate to live in a country where your vote is your superpower: use it wisely. Support people who share your values and will always make decisions that benefit the planet.
