AGM Willunga Regional Environment Network (formerly Willunga Environment Centre)

Invitation from the Board

The Board of Willunga Regional Environment Network (formerly Willunga Environment Centre) warmly invite you to attend their 2026 Annual General Meeting.  We look forward to seeing you for the purposes of the meeting and to celebrate the busy and productive year the Board and the organisation have managed. 

We will have a most interesting guest speaker, Charley Barclay, Project Officer for OzFish SA. Charley is currently in the process of engaging the new OzFish Fleurieu Chapter.

OzFish is a recreational fishing and fish habitat restoration charity, and the Fleurieu chapter is anchored around a seagrass restoration project launching in Victor Harbor in the Spring, alongside a broader pipeline of potential sites across the region identified through the Southern Fleurieu Action Plan.

Most of their current Fleurieu-area volunteers are based around Aldinga, so this is a very opportune presentation, as well as an opportunity to hear from those who know the area best.
