Calling all children, years Kinder to Grade 6
Did you know that Snugglepot and Cuddlepie are in danger of losing their home?
And YOU can help save them.
To draw attention to the plight of the majestic River Red Gums, The Wilderness Society has launched the Red Gum Kids Colouring Competition.
River Red Gums are majestic trees, and provide a home for many of our native animals, such as the Squirrel Glider, Regent Parrot, Southern Bell Frog and Barking Owl - as well as Snugglepot and Cuddlepie. Sadly, these beautiful old trees are being chopped down, all over NSW. Read more...
There are six great prizes to win. Each winner will receive a fantastic book pack from Murray David Publishing and Eco Books – along with a bonus pack for their school library. And all entries will be presented to the NSW Premier, Morris Iemma.
Entries close - Friday 29th August, 2008.
And the winners will be drawn in early September, 2008.
Entering the Red Gum Kids Colouring competition is a great way to discover more about Australia's amazing plants and animals. Also, you’ll be helping The Wilderness Society and our friends create new National Parks - and save our precious River Red Gums.
