Plant Identification Walk - early morning session

Join us for a guided hike through Yarra Bend Park with Mappa Outdoor to explore the biodiversity that exists within the green spaces so close to the city centre. Led by an ecologist, we'll learn about the differences and impacts of native, introduced, and invasive plant species on our local ecosystem.

Attendees will learn to identify plant species common to the Yarra City area and witness the incredible impact community conservation efforts can have on the health of our environment.
