Celebrate Lake Claremont Day was a Buzz!

On Sunday, 15 September Millennium Kids and Friends of Lake Claremont participated in the Celebrate Lake Claremont 2024 festival.

We ran an amazing nature race, which was a sort of a nature treasure hunt involving various stations that participants had to visit and learn about before receiving a stamp in their passport.

 I ran the Native Bee station, where I taught participants amazing facts about the importance of Native Bees as the pollinators for the Lake Claremont, and general, ecosystems, while they got their faces painted.

 I had around fifty visitors, young and old, visit my station and gave some positive feedback.

The other stations led by our MK GreenLAB team members included learning about local birds, Polyphagous shot hole borer, meeting our friends from Friends of Lake Claremont, Friends of Western Swamp Tortoise, Cottesloe Tree Canopy Advocates and painting your favourite wildlife. We also gave Cottesloe Tree Canopy advocates $500 to give away native tree species for their gardens.
