                                                                        Here’s a chance to join in cassowary welfare

​Garners Beach Cassowary Rehabilitation Centre’s new management is the focus of a presentation on Saturday May 7 at 5pm at Community for Coastal and Cassowary Conservation (C4) Theatrette in Mission Beach.

The rehab centre was threatened with closure last year when Queensland Department of Environment cut its funding.
Following a public outcry, DEH invited expressions of interest in running the centre and in April selected Tableland-based Rainforest Reserves Australia.

CEO of Rainforest Reserves, Carolyn Emms, is to be the guest speaker at  C4’s  general meeting on Saturday and anyone interested in cassowary rehabilitation is welcome.
 
Carolyn and her husband Phil are former dairy farmers who bought a run-down beef farm backing onto World Heritage listed National Park near Lake Barrine. Since then, with the help of volunteers, they have planted more than 45,000 rainforest trees. Native birds and mammals have returned and the water quality along Toohey’s Creek has improved.

They have also started building a facility to accommodate sick or injured cassowaries on the Lake Barrine property.

The Emms also own a 1.6ha property at White Rock near Cairns which they revegetated, resulting in a great increase in native bird numbers.
Preliminary discussions have been held about the potential involvement of C4 and the Mission Beach community in the Garner’s Beach centre which was bequeathed to DEH for the rehabilitation of sick, injured and orphaned cassowaries..
Saturday’s meeting will be followed by supper and drinks and visitors are welcome.
