A belated happy birthday to Sir David.
Read the comments to see what he had to say about building a wetlands centre!

🎉 Happy 100th birthday to our conservation hero, who we think would greatly agree with our Hobsons Bay Wetlands Centre advocacy priority.

We are seeking a $5 million funding commitment towards Stage 2 of the centre, which will help it become a great protector of our environment, just like Sir David has been.
