Take the wetland warrior challenge and help protect and conserve our local wetlands. Wetlands play a critical role in water and food security, flood mitigation, and carbon storage. They have intrinsic value for nature conservation and contribute to community wellbeing. In Australia, the driest inhabited continent on earth, water is vital. Yet wetland loss is 50% or more.
Westgate Park is located along the eastern banks of the Yarra River under the Westgate Bridge. Having undergone many transformations, Westgate Park is now a vibrant example of how wasteland can become a flourishing ecological and recreational wetland environment.
The focus of this project will be on habitat restoration that may include spreading mulch, removing weeds, plant maintenance and litter collection. These activities aim to protect and enhance the habitat for a large number of birds that have begun using Westgate Park since wildlife corridors and biodiversity links have been developed.
