Organiser
The Werribee River Association is an active community environmental organisation that is working with a growing and diverse community, particularly in education and engagement, to support communities to connect and protect the waterways of the west.
The Werribee River Association began in 1981, led by a group of vocal community members who were concerned about the degradation of the Werribee River. We have now grown into a small team of professionals, supported by hundreds of members and volunteers, and dozens of partners and stakeholders.
We work with the land and water managers to help build the biodiversity of the waterway ecosystem, and to support the iconic platypus – our emblem, featured in our logo.
Venue
We will meet on Bicentennial Bridge, off Comben Drive in Werribee. We will then walk 4.6km along the Werribee River Trail.
