Response to the SoE 2021 Report
On July 19th 2022, the Federal Government released the 2021 State of the Environment Report which paints a dire picture of the current state of our country and its precious natural environment. It highlights that our time for action is now, we must act in order to improve our environment for our health and wellbeing. You can read our response to the report here.

Grants
We acknowledge the support of the Ross Trust with a grant for our conservation program from 2023-2025. The Ross Trust is a perpetual charitable trust with a vision to create positive social and environmental change so Victorians can thrive. The Trust was established in 1970 in Victoria by the will of the late Roy Everard Ross.
We are also pleased to acknowledge the support of the Hobsons Bay City Council, which is supporting two Hobsons Bay Wetlands Centre Open Days in 2024 through its Make it Happen Grants program. The Council has also provided a Make it Happen Grant in 2024-2025 to support the training of our wetland guides.
We are excited to be a recipient of the Victorian Government’s West Gate Neighbourhood Fund. The grant will go towards our Open Day on 10 May 2025 when we will invite the diverse community of the western suburbs to join us. The West Gate Neighbourhood Fund is a Victorian Government initiative that is helping not-for-profit organisations in Melbourne’s inner west to support their communities while the West Gate Tunnel Project is being built.
We are grateful to Mobil Melbourne Terminal for contributing to our Open Days in 2024 with the aim of connecting local communities to each other and to nature.
