What's Big Scrub Rainforest Day about?
 Educational Presentations |
Big Scrub Rainforest Day has inspired and educated thousands of landholders and volunteers to tackle weeds, plant trees and get passionate about rainforests since 1999. Through its innovative, fun program, the event engages the whole community, not just those converted to rainforest restoration and landcare.
Started by Rainforest Rescue and the Big Scrub Rainforest Landcare Group, Big Scrub Rainforest Day has grown to become the largest annual landcare education event in Australia. People travel from all over southeast Queensland, northern New South Wales and beyond to join the festivities and discover practical ways they can help the environment.
The educational focus of the day is complemented by fun activities for all the family like eco games with the children, puppet making, theatre performance and yoga in the rainforest. Market and food stalls also contribute to a festival atmosphere.

Saving the Big Scrub - Project Update
The Big Scrub Maps - Big Scrub Past and Big Scrub Present
The Big Scrub was once Australia's largest subtropical rainforest at 75,000 hectares. Now only 1% remains as rainforest remnants. The remnants suffer from fragmentation, isolation and exotic weed invasion. We need your help to make the remnants bigger and remove the weed threat. Since 1999 Rainforest Rescue has been saving the Big Scrub through the Big Scrub Restoration Project undertaken. Thanks to the donations from many individuals and our business sponsors Rainforest Rescue has now committed over $100,000 to saving the Big Scrub.
The Big Scrub is the most bio-diverse ecosystem in New South Wales and needs your help! Your donation will help to restore the remnants through an ongoing program to manage the impact of exotic weeds and to help grow the remnants.
