Central Coast Wetlands Forum
The Central Coast Wetlands Forum will be held at the new Gosford Regional Library (auditorium) on Saturday 29 August from 9:30am til 2pm.
Guest speakers include Sam Johnson, Wetlands officer from the NSW Nature Conservation Council, and a range of local wetland protectors from various groups.
You may not realise that the Central Coast has already lost over 60% of its coastal wetlands. You may not even know you are living near a significant wetland!
Local groups including CEN will have stalls and attendees are invited to bring a plate to share for lunch. Tea and coffee will be served.
The event will host wetlands trivia with a native plant prize pack for the winner!
This is a free community event but bookings are essential.
Find out why wetlands are so important and what needs to be done to protect them.
They’re not swamps and they capture and store more carbon than a forest! Wetlands are so important for sustainability, flood management, biodiversity and climate mitigation and they are in desperate danger from run off, clearing and over-development.
