Site visit 1: Experiencing the Western Grassland Reserve

Visit a range of grasslands, from good to bad, and finish at the Melbourne Runabout & Speedboat Club for light refreshments and a discussion about the complex realities of this important reserve, our aspirations, the visitor experiences the Western Grassland Reserve can offer, and how we can engage the public.
