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!
Join Conservation Volunteers Australia for a day of giving back to the environment and connecting with nature at Murtnaghurt Lagoon.

Together with Parks Victoria we will be hosting a day of weed extraction where volunteers can actively help preserve and protect this important wetland. Followed by a free morning tea.
Look forward to seeing you there!

The goal of this event is to raise awareness of the issues facing the aquatic ecosystem, while showcasing both the individual contributions and the collective impact of environmental community groups, all of which share the common objective of environmental conservation.
The aim of this event is to educate, empower and inspire the Geelong and other communities to work together to make a change to protect the aquatic environment which surrounds us. We aim to link the community with local community groups already active in this space through a fun journey of exploration around our community stalls using the three themes of the event - celebrating the
beauty of the aquatic environment, examining the issues which the aquatic environment is facing and explaining what is being done to resolve these issues - and in general how the community can get involved.
Join this event
Local community organisations/groups - if this is you and you're interested in having a stall, please register your expression of interest HERE.
