Paisley Challis Wetlands in Williamstown is one of the five significant sites in Hobsons Bay that provide important habitat for a large number of resident and migratory shorebirds.
Shorebirds are sensitive indicators of change in their environment and can provide early warnings of environmental problems including those caused by climate change and deteriorating habitat quality. Threats to shorebirds and their habitat in Hobsons Bay include: loss of coastal and inland wetlands, invasive weeds, introduced predators, human-related disturbance and climate change.
We need your help to maintain the birds’ delicate habitats at Paisley Challis Wetlands. Get your hands dirty to assist us with a variety of activities including hand weeding, planting, watering of plants, mulching and tree guards maintenance.
If you wish to meet us on site, please contact the Melbourne office after making your booking.
This program is supported by ExxonMobil.
