Students Pest vs Rest Day at Reedy Swamp

Grade five and six students will learn about native species and pests in our natural environment. Learning about different bugs, environmental art, Indigenous education, native fish and undertake a wildlife walk.

RiverConnect Education Officer Bonny Schnorrenberg said “it’s a great day for the children to learn more about the natural environment and the different bugs and pests that are out and about. We are very fortunate to have a great natural resource such as Reedy Swamp for children to learn, without having to travel great distances.”

“Reedy Swamp provides a great habitat and breeding sites for a number of insects and waterbirds,” said Mrs Schnorrenberg.
