The ongoing efforts of the Friends and local community allow this wonderland of nature to thrive. Learn more about the FOBSW and how they help preserve this natural heritage.
To help preserve this fragile environment, we convene regularly to help maintain the bushland. As well as planting and weeding, we also clear any damage caused by harsh weather and general waste.
Our ongoing conservation efforts have helped the wetlands retain a thriving and functional ecosystem that is home to a diverse assortment of birds, frogs and other fauna that have been attracted to the area.
Our aim is to protect the bushland, and contribute to the regeneration of the native flora in the wetlands. The area provides food, shelter and habitats for the native fauna and regeneration of our native flora.
Fauna and flora surveys are conducted regularly by both the friends and professionals who meet our conservation values to identify threatened ecological communities and rare species.
Our goal is to keep the community informed of our conservation efforts. We encourage youngsters to learn about the environment, and keep the community informed of our ongoing activities.
