Discover why we need wetlands - Leeton

We have many significant wetlands in the Murrumbidgee Catchment. These wetlands help to clean the river system, buffer floods, provide habitat for a large diversity of wildlife and provide recreational resources. Traditional owners over time found wetlands to be a valuable source of food, fibre and even transport.

 

Fivebough and Tuckerbil are listed under the Ramsar international convention making them extra special!
