Bega Valley Shire Council is holding four Wilderness to Water guided walking tours across the shire, with the first event to be held at the Merimbula Boardwalk on Saturday 26 November from 10am to 1pm.
Council’s Environmental Management Officer, Erin Moon said these free events will give walkers an opportunity to discover the environmental and cultural significance of some of the shire’s most beautiful walking trails.
“Starting at Top Lake Boat Hire, participants will explore the saltmarsh flora of Merimbula Lake with botanist, Jackie Miles and learn about the estuarine processes with lake expert, Nick Yee,” Ms Moon said.
“There will be a cultural tour on the day, talks from local oyster farmers, National Parks and Wildlife Service on threatened shorebirds, and the Atlas of Life in the Coastal Wilderness on citizen science.
“There will also be nature activities for kids.
“A hearty lunch will be provided by a local caterer and Sapphire Coast Wilderness Oysters will cater for some oyster tasting.”
Future walking tours will be held in Wallaga Lake, Eden and Bemboka, with more detail to come.
The Wilderness to Water walking tour series is funded by the NSW Government’s Reconnecting Regional NSW Community Events Program.
