This is a QFS activity open to QFS members and guests to demonstrate the collection of November Grass (nesting grass). Last year participants each collected from 3 – 10 bags of grass. This trip will be on Sunday 6 November in the sugar cane area south of Brisbane (Woongoolba). Assemble at the car park adjacent to Gem Hotel, Jacobs Well Road at 9.30am Sun 6 Nov. To get to Jacobs Well Road, travel the M1 south of Brisbane and take exit 38(Yatala North) to Jacobs Well Road. Then proceed for 3km to the Gem Hotel. We will leave in convoy from the Gem at 9.45am precisely to a grass area for a briefing about the grass and how to collect it. After that individuals or groups can forage for the grass themselves.
