🌿 Wetland Warriors Festival 🌿

📅 Date: 24 & 25 June 2025
🕗 Time: 08:00 – 12:00

🐸 Why Wetlands Matter:
Wetlands are essential as fish nurseries, biodiversity hotspots, and natural water filters. Sadly, they’re under threat from:
- Invasive alien plants
- Erosion & pollution
- Development & draining
- Excess nutrients
- Burning & mining
Let’s stand together to protect them. 🌍

How You Can Help:

✅ Plant locally indigenous species
Sun Valley wetlands are home to a vibrant mix of insects, reptiles, birds, and fish – and they need your voice and action.
Let’s come together as a community to celebrate, restore, and protect this vital ecosystem.
