Friends Of Willow Park Inc.
Educating and involving the community in protecting, preserving and valuing parklands
Waterwatch
Water is essential for all life. Water and river systems are important social and economic assets of our landscape.
Communities have a role to play in helping conserve our waterways. In this way we can help make sure our children, grandchildren and great- grandchildren will continue to enjoy the many values that rivers currently provide. If you would like to:
- Learn how to test the health of the water in House Creek
- Look at how the stormwater treatment wetland works
- Discover water bugs – good and bad
- Play around with water test kits and nets
Waterwatch resumes in February. Watch the space below for this year’s dates or contact Karen Stacey and she will let you know what’s on.

Generally, we meet on the same Sunday as Community Gardening, so that we can join the Gardening group afterwards and avoid the heat of the afternoon.
We plan to collect a sample each month over Summer (if the team agrees) to gain some extra data – three months is a long time without results.
Meet near the BBQ in Willow Park.
BYO water, sunscreen and hat.
Friends of Willow Park will supply all other equipment.
Join us for morning tea after Gardening. (Would you like to bring some morning tea?)
