Neighbourhood Night Studio - Pollinators of the Night

Why are we seeing Flying Foxes in Hervey Bay?

Join us at The Neighbourhood Centre with educator John Parsons for an engaging & educational workshop that uncovers the incredible ecological role these tiny nocturnal mammals play in our environment.

Through a visual presentation, hands-on learning and real-life examples, you’ll explore:

• The unique biology and behaviour of microbats

• Their crucial role in natural pest control

• Local species found across the Fraser Coast

• Conservation challenges

• Practical ways you can support bat-friendly habitats at home and in the community

This interactive session is perfect for nature lovers, backyard gardeners, families, educators, and anyone curious about our fascinating native wildlife.

DATE:  Tuesday 16 June
TIME: 6:00pm - 7:30pm 
LOCATION: The Hervey Bay Community Centre

Neighbourhood Night Studio is a relaxed, welcoming after-hours creative space where adults can explore art, learn new skills, and connect with others in a supportive, no-pressure environment. Running weekly in the early evening, the program is designed for beginners and non-artists, with an emphasis on process over perfection and people over performance. To remove barriers and make participation easy, sessions are low-cost, wheelchair accessible, and supported with clear, encouraging guidance. To further support inclusion, free dinner and $5 on-site supervised children's activities will be provided, making it easier for parents and carers to attend, slow down, and enjoy time for creativity, connection, and wellbeing.
