Did you know that 10% of bushfires are sparked by unsafe campfires? Don’t be that person. By knowing how to C.A.M.P before lighting a campfire you can always prepare for a safe and enjoyable time in nature. #PackYourSummerSmarts

Hoodies on nest, on-lead is best!

Dogs are a big risk to hooded plovers nesting on shorelines.

If you’re taking your pooch to the beach, obey all local dog rules and keep dogs under control near birds.

Penalties apply.

It takes a village to raise a hooded plover chick!

“Hoodies” are back nesting on beaches and need your help to grow their families and population!

When visiting the coast:
🐣Watch out for fenced-off nesting areas
🐣Obey signage
🐣Keep dogs on-lead
🐣Give birds lots of space
