A heart-warming connection to a picturesque lake is helping protect the water wonder and create many friendships and memories.
Beautiful Lake Weyba, north of Peregian Springs and just west of Marcus and Sunrise Beach, spans 9.6 square kilometres.
It is home to diverse wildlife and many endangered species, as well as being an important fish breeding habitat.
On the last Friday of each month between 8am and 10am, you will find a group of passionate BushCare volunteers working together to improve the surrounding bushland for the lake's overall health.
Not everyone is from the area, but all share a love of nature and are committed to making a difference.
The Lake Weyba Bushcare Group welcomes you to join them at a working bee whenever suits you. Activities always conclude with a delicious morning tea and a chat.
Or you could join a group in your local area. There are more than 30 that hold regular working bees across the Sunshine Coast.
