Central Coast Wetlands Wildlife Corridor Planting

Join the Community Environment Network (CEN) for the final stage of the Central Coast Wetlands wildlife corridor planting along the banks of Pioneer Creek, transforming a former cow paddock into a thriving ecosystem. This restoration project began over five years ago and is now in its third and final stage. They aim to fill a treeless gap along Pioneer Creek, linking previously restored habitats with remnant vegetation along the Wyong River.

Note: The WildVenture program is for young adults (18-35). The Central Coast Wetlands will offer other planting opportunities for all ages later in the year.
