Celebrate World Environment Day with an incredible adventure tour exploring the wetlands that form a critical part of Bayside’s natural environment.

This guided wetland tour is led by local environmentalist and historian Dr Arthur White, alongside staff from Bayside Council’s Environment & Resilience team.

Wetland environments are one of Bayside’s most important ecosystems. Beyond providing important ecological functions that support native bushland and wildlife, these wetlands hold fascinating historical significance, including being home to one of Australia's most famous Aboriginal resistance fighters Pemulway.

The tours take place on Wednesday 4 June and Saturday 7 June and will include:

• Eve Street Wetland, home of the endangered Green and Golden Bell frog and the heritage-listed 1890s Southern and Western Ocean Outfall System
• Landing Lights Wetland, important to various migrating and local birds
• Patmore Swamp, hiding place of indigenous freedom fighter Pemulwuy
• Hawthorne Street Natural Area, listed by the State Government as an Endangered Ecological Community.

This is an excellent opportunity to connect with nature and learn about the importance of wetland conservation.
