A three day festival celebrating the Peel-Yalgorup Ramsar Wetlands will kick off this weekend.
The inaugural Wetlands Weekender begins on Friday October 11 and runs until Sunday October 13.
It will feature a huge range of activities including an art exhibition, birdwatching, cultural storytelling, a citizen science event, a movie night, children’s activities and a wetland tour by boat.
Peel-Harvey Catchment Council Wetlands and People Officer Sharon Meredith said the festival coincides with World Migratory Bird Day on October 12.
"We've got so many birds that come here and make the epic journey down from the Arctic Circle," she said.
"They travel 12,500 km to come and spend the summer months here, so we've got some really fun activities that we've lined up to celebrate the actual day."
