Winton Wetlands is going WILD!
From 20-25 November Winton Wetlands is going WILD! Well, more wild than usual…
We’ll have lots of wildlife to see, as usual – but we’ll also be having a Wild Week of celebrations and fun, and showcasing many of the people and organisations who have helped us to get through a landmark year of achievements in 2023.
The Wild Week will close with a bang on Saturday 25 November with a public open day across the wetlands featuring displays, activities, guided walks and other one-of-a kind events.
Information on other Wild Week and activities and events can be found in the event program provided here. For any inquiries, please feel free to drop us a line – info@wintonwetlands.org.au – or call the project office on (03) 5766 4462. Or ask us a question on our Facebook or Instagram pages.
