Last week we had the absolute privilege of helping out with digital support at the Hunter Estuary Forum held at ๐ฑ
It was inspiring to see all the hard work that the attendees and agencies have been doing, working towards conservation and actions to improve the Hunter Estuary connection.
Thank you for all the amazing work that you do and for such a fantastic day!

Yesterday the Hunter Wetlands held itโs inaugural Hunter Estuary Forum. We had over 60 attendees representing 5 Councils, 5 state agencies, 1 National agency, 2 Universities, Hunter Water, HBOC and Landcare.
Atendees enjoyed an early morning walk around the Wetlands before hearing from Wetlands legends Dr Kathy Eyles, Dr Will Glamore and Alison Russell-French OAM (over zoom!).
Our key players then got together to come up with a plan of action to help improve the Hunter Estuary connections. We are so happy to have started the conversation and look forward to reporting back with outcomes in the future.
