Bird Sightings:
You can perhaps help record bird sightings in the wetlands using the following links:
A dedicated group of members conduct tree planting in the Seaford wetlands one Sunday each month (except when too dry). These are organised by Rex Chugg - see our contacts page to get in touch with Rex if you wish to participate. Any willing member of the public is welcome. If you are interested in volunteering to help organise tree planting at Edithvale wetlands please contact us.
Bird Hide
The bird hide is a two-story building that offers an excellent view of the wetlands. It is located on the south side of Edithvale Road, ED (Melways 93, D8 - See also the Google Map at the bottom of this page).
The hide is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 1pm to 5pm, and is manned by volunteers from the Friends of Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands.
Tours
The friends often run guided tours for schools and other groups through the wetlands at appropriate times of the year. The ability to offer these tours depends on the availability of our Wetlands volunteers who need to be present to lead groups through the fenced area of the Edithvale wetlands were the Kangaroos are located. Of course, all other areas of the Wetlands at both Seaford and Edithvale are always open to the public year around.
