Join Conservation Volunteers Australia at Edwards Point Wildlife Reserve to help restore the last remaining stand of coastal woodland on the Bellarine Peninsula. We're teaming up with the Friends of Edwards Point for a day of weed extraction, followed by morning tea and the chance to explore the stunning flora of the reserve.
The Two Bays Lookout provides visitors with breath taking views of both Port Phillip and Swan Bay, where you can discover remote beaches that are home to resident and migratory wader birds. The reserve is a Ramsar site and an international flyway, making it an incredibly significant location to protect and conserve.
Look forward to seeing you there!
The Friends of Edwards Point Wildlife Reserve invite you to join us in experiencing the unique flora of our reserve in a new way
Friends of Edwards Point are asking for your assistance to help us collect rubbish washed up on along the foreshore of the Reserve. It's also a great opportunity to see the variety of seabirds that reside in and around the waters of the Reserve. Don't forget to wear a hat, appropriate clothes, preferably long sleeves, and pants (more protection from the sun) and comfortable shoes to wear for walking on sand. We will also provide light refreshments after the walk.

Have you ever wondered what those horse-shoe shaped jelly things are? If sharks lay eggs? What all the different shells on the beach are? These questions and more will be answered by Bellarine Catchment Network at this free, family-friendly beachcomb activity.
This activity is aimed at both children and adults so all are welcome. Adults need to accompany children under 12. There are limited spots available so please register.
What's involved: Participants will go on a beachcomb lead by experienced staff, looking for creatures and artefacts along the shoreline. Participants can enter the water up to their knees if wearing booties (either BYO or provided) and if conditions are appropriate, participants can also use provided aquascopes (e.g., plastic underwater viewing device - see image below). Participants will receive educational resources such as posters, brochures and more at the end of the session.
Please BYO: hat, sunscreen, water and booties or enclosed shoes like sneakers (no flip flops or sandals). It is suggested to wear bathers or shorts if intending to enter the water.
Access: Drive down towards Lower Bluff and park in the first car park, just north of the toilets. Walk along the path towards the beach and look out for the Bellarine Catchment Network table and staff. This activity will be run along the shoreline but can accommodate wheelchairs - please get in contact with us. The event will be run in English but please contact us if you require support as we work to accommodate everyone.
