Yarrowee River Clean Up + Community Event with the Eco-Aura Restorers
Description
Come along to a community event to connect with nature and clean up the Yarrowee river, home to rich cultural significance and wildlife such as platypus and rakali.
This event is being coordinated by a group young people from Ballarat who have witnessed first-hand the damaging effects of illegal dumping in our community.
It pains us to see our beautiful town and it’s beautiful natural spaces ruined by piles of waste in public parks, and along rivers.
Please come take part in an awesome day for the local community.
