Heyfield wetlands volunteers received $20,000 to construct new viewing platform from Stronger Communities Program
Heyfield wetlands volunteers are continuing to transform the popular nature reserve with upgraded trails, revegetation and a new viewing platform.
The committee has received a $20,000 grant from the Stronger Communities Program to construct the new viewing area. "The volunteers have done a terrific job to attract wildlife and improve the visitor experience. This latest project will allow more locals and visitors to experience this beautiful part of Heyfield." Mr Chester said.
Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester met with volunteer Barry Donahoe who provided a guided tour of the wetlands
