Tewantin Noosa QCWA will donate all proceeds from a street stall on 7 December as fuel cards to Wildlife Noosa to assist with the costs of rescuing birds and animals in the local area.

“Fuel is the biggest single cost for our not-for-profit rescue service and is the biggest obstacle for us in getting volunteers to transport animals or carry out our work“ said Will Watson, chief rescue officer and founder.

“We transport sick birds and animals, patrol the Noosa River, cutting fishing lines out of trees, collecting rubbish along the river and checking the health of sea birds constantly. Volunteers pay for the cost of the fuel personally, and as the cost rises, the number of volunteers is less.

“We are really pleased to have the Tewantin Noosa QCWA help support us and we will be at the stall to tell people about our work and who we are.

The street stall starts at 8am and will finish at 10.30am or sooner, if sold out. The hard working volunteers from the local QCWA branch will be selling fresh scones with jam and cream, home baking, expert crafts and beautiful plants, as well as Christmas themed items.

The public is invited to meet the team from Noosa Wildlife Rescue and the QCWA members at the stall at the hall next to the Post Office at Tewantin.
