Walk, talk and plant: Ploughmans Wetlands | Orange
Join the Ploughmans Wetlands Care Group, Orange City Council and Central Tableland Local Land Services for a relaxing guided walk around Ploughman's Wetland to learn about habitat, biodiversity and importance of urban wetlands in future proofing our climate.
On the day you'll have the opportunity to improve the sustainability and health of the wetland by planting a tree.
All participants should wear enclosed shoes and bring a hat and sunscreen (gloves optional).
Orange Biodiversity Month - Plants, animals, fungi, ecosystems...
Wild and vast or small and special. Biodiversity is the variety of life on earth and it’s essential for our lives.
The Orange region is home to a multitude of landforms that provide a wide range of habitats for biodiversity. During the month of September, we’re celebrating this biodiversity through a number of events for Orange Biodiversity Month. You can sit back and relax at the movies or get your hands dirty planting a tree; there’s something for everyone.
