Qld Landcare Conference

Today (2nd Feb) is World Wetlands Day, it is a day of celebration and awareness and coincides with the anniversary of the signing of the Convention on Wetlands (Ramsar Convention) in Ramsar, Iran, on 2 February 1971.

Wetlands are very complex and important parts of our landscape and can often be the focus of landcare activity. They perform an important function for landscape by improving water quality and playing host to a massive array of biodiversity.

So if you can take a moment to be by a wetland today, there are a stack of events around the nation. Check out the DEH listing of events all over Australia
