THE WETLAND BLUEPRINT | RESTORATION BY DESIGN

What does it really take to bring a degraded wetland back to life? Where do you begin, and how do you know which restoration techniques will actually work?

We're launching The Wetland Blueprint, a new four-part workshop series exploring the science and practice of wetland restoration.

Our first workshop, Restoration by Design, is led by Julie Robert, Director of Fat Frog Consulting, who brings over 20 years of experience restoring wetlands and waterways across WA.

Through practical, hands-on learning, discover how to assess wetland health, identify restoration opportunities and apply cost-effective techniques that make a lasting ecological difference.

🌱 Attend one or all four! Every workshop stands alone, so you can join the series at any stage and still get plenty out of each session.

📅 Friday 20 November 2026
🕘 9 am – 1 pm
📍 The Wetlands Centre Cockburn, Bibra Lake
🥪 Light lunch provided

🔗 events.humanitix.com/wetlands-work
Places are limited. Book your spot!

Proudly supported by Community Bank Fremantle – Bendigo Bank.

Comprehensive hands on sessions bridge the gap between ecological theory & on-the-ground practice for low-cost, high-impact wetland restoration by Julie Robert.

Happy National Water Week! 💧🌏

Water is life, something we get to see first hand at the Wetlands Centre. From splashing waterbirds to noisy frogs to even us humans, water provides us with sustenance, refuge and connection. 🫶

Whether we're running school programs, hosting seminars or restoring Bibra Lake - we love sharing the beauty of wetlands with others.
