Friends of Greenwich Bay will celebrate Bushcare’s Major Day Out on Sunday with an event looking at wildlife and conservation practices around the world.
There will be a walk, talk and slides at Sandy Point Nature Reserve in Newport, exploring initiatives undertaken in Africa, the Galapagos Islands and locally.
Hobsons Bay’s conservation and environment team leader, Frank Fardell, will lead a walk at Sandy Point, near the boat ramp at the northern end of the Strand.
Mr Fardell, recently returned from Africa and the Galapagos Islands, will share his wildlife conservation experiences from overseas with a slide show at the Greenwich Reserve sports pavilion.
Maria McGuane, of the Friends group, urged the public to attend.
“It’s a great opportunity to learn more about our local coastal bushland,” she said.
The group started in 1996 and revegetates and cares for coastal bushland and wildlife.
The event is from 9.30am-noon; meet at the Greenwich Reserve sports pavilion (Melway map 56 C5).
