PHILLIP Island Nature Parks staff and volunteers were out spreading the word about protecting local wildlife alongside the Woolamai Beach Surf Life Saving Club Nippers, earlier this month.
More than 200 people attended the Sharing Our Shores pop-up education and awareness stall, learning how we can all enjoy our beaches safely, and help look after our shorebirds.
Residents and visitors to Bass Coast are encouraged to do their bit to help wildlife ‘nest and rest’ by taking these easy steps:
Stay on tracks and avoid walking on dunes.
Keep your distance from wildlife.
Leash your dogs and keep cats indoors.
Take your rubbish with you.
The Sharing our Shores campaign runs until 30 April 2025.
Project partners include Birdlife Australia, Bass Coast Shire Council and the Conservation Regulator.
