What's happening in the catchment?

Do you want to learn more about the area or the catchment that you live in?


Do you know what native plants are best suited for your garden?

Or what is the best way to help the native animals that live in your garden?

We have regular free community activities that can help you to learn how to live a more environmentally friendly and sustainable way.

You could easily improve your garden so that it attracts more native animals and is more environmentally friendly.
