The Peel-Harvey Catchment Council will be hosting their first Wetlands Weekender this October, a mini festival that celebrates the beauty and wildlife of the Peel-Yalgorup Ramsar Wetland.
October is a significant time for the Peel-Yalgorup Ramsar wetland as it aligns with the beginning of the migratory bird season.
The festival program kicks off on Friday, October 11 and runs until the following Sunday.
It includes a variety of fun 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 chair Caroline Knight said she was looking forward to the festivities.
"The activities are spread out across different areas of the Peel-Yalgorup wetland and it's a great opportunity to visit and get to know parts of the wetland that you may have never visited before," she said.
"Many of the festival events are free or heavily subsidised and have something for everyone."
