With international wetlands on our doorstep, this episode explores these incredible ecosystems and how they are managed. We chat with Sandra Wilson who recorded a beautiful interview with retired Parks Victoria ranger, Bernie McCarrick, and Dr Mike Weston from Deakin University, who share their wetland knowledge and secrets.

We discuss ways of deepening your nature connection with Forest Therapy Guide, Dr Liz Cyarto, and learn how being in nature helps our health and happiness. At the end, listen for nature dates for your calendar including an open day, a trivia night, a plant sale and a grassland talk.

This episode is all about our trees in winter and we share a tree chat with local Melbourne author, Dave Witty, about his book ‘What the Trees See – A wander through millennia of natural history in Australia’ focussing on tree species that are special to our region. Enjoy!
