Event Description: 🌊Dive into the world of birds at our Shorebird Week event at Gould's Lagoon in Granton.

🐦 We'll start the day with an amazing bird watching session with former BirdLife convenor, Eric Woehler. Eric will take us on a journey and show us the life of birds, while we observe them through binoculars and scopes, and enjoy the proximity to the timtumili minanya (Derwent River).

🌱 Afterwards, join us as we are looking after our plantings, making sure they're thriving and provide the habitat and biodiversity birds need in this area!

🧤Please note we require all participants to wear long-sleeve pants, a long-sleeve shirt, fully enclosed shoes and a hat.🧤 Please bring binoculars if you have them.

Please note the closest toilets will be at Roseneath Park (5min drive away).

💬If you have any questions or would like to book a group of volunteers, please contact Janine on [email protected]💬

The word 'timtumili minanya' is in palawa kani, the language of Tasmanian Aborigines’. Learn more on the SETAC Website.
