Wetland Warriors Festival

June 24 @ 8:00 am - June 25 @ 12:00 pm

🌿 Wetland Warriors Festival 🌿
Hosted by Guardians of the Deep NPC & Silvermine Academy

Join us for the very first Wetland Warriors Festival, a two-day celebration of the Sun Valley Wetlands!

📅 Date: 24 & 25 June 2025
🕗 Time: 08:00 – 12:00
📍 Location: Silvermine Academy

🐸 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. 🌍

Festival Highlights:

24 June
🥾 Wetland Hike – Explore the Silvermine Nature Area with Sun Valley Eco Watch & Friends of Silvermine Nature Area.

25 June
🔬 MiniSASS at Chebec Pond – Citizen science water testing with Sun Valley Eco Watch
🧹 Wetland Clean-Up – Help TMNP Central restore beauty and balance
🌱 Fynbos Restoration – Get your hands dirty with FynbosLIFE
🌿 Alien Clearing (Hacking) – Support conservation efforts with FOSNA
🔥 Project KNEXS – Enjoy fireside storytelling & homecooked lunch with Forever Young Seniors

How You Can Help:

✅ Don’t litter
✅ Don’t use poisons
✅ 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.
