Landing Lights Wetlands Tour
Event description
Join Ian Tyrrell, author of River Dreams: The people and landscape of the Cooks River, on a walking tour looking at wetlands, water and farming on the lower Cooks River. This tour will focus on Landing Lights Wetland, looking at the history of early farming and wetland restoration at Muddy Creek.
The tour will commence at the Riverine Park adjacent to the Landing Lights Wetlands, an environmentally significant "natural" area. The site contains some of the last remaining saline wetlands on the Cooks River and includes vegetation identified under NSW legislation (salt-marsh) as threatened. On the way, the neighbouring Riverine Wetlands will be observed, and the West Botany St. Chinese Market Garden next to the wetlands.
Bookings are required and all children under 18 years must be accompanied by an adult. The event entails a short walk in a flat area along paths of various terrain. If you have any accessibility requirements, please contact info@cooksriver.org.au.
