HBWC is a volunteer-led, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to connecting people with nature. Our organisation is able to protect and enhance our local natural environment only because of the extraordinary work carried out by our volunteers to connect people with nature through sharing knowledge and enthusiasm about the local wetlands. To celebrate their extraordinary effort we hope to host a picnic that coincides with the Truganina Explosives Reserve Preservation Society Open Day. It’s also an opportunity for celebration of International Volunteers Day, which is on 5 December 2025. If you’ve volunteered with HBWC, please save the date. More information will be published when the event planning is completed.
