The Hobsons Bay Wetlands Centre hosted its ‘Connecting Communities in Nature’ open day on Saturday, May 11.
Volunteer Jane Harris said it was a terrific day.
“We had a great crowd engaging in all the activities that were created to celebrate World Migratory Bird Day and Hobsons Bay’s diverse community.”
Ms Harris said the day was an opportunity to celebrate the Hobsons Bay community, where people enraged with cultural performances, guided walks through the wetlands, bilingual story time and environmental stalls.
The Vietnamese Association in Hobsons Bay reached 1000 Origami Cranes, a symbol of peace, which resident Myly Nguyen said symbolises peace, good health, longevity and healing in many Asian cultures.
“As I folded, I learnt that the paper crane was a symbol of hope and healing,” she said.
The cranes will be displayed across Hobsons Bay libraries.
