Learn about the waterways, rivers and wetlands in this region, and discover how you can join your river community to help care for these special places and protect biodiversity for future generations.

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.
