Baigup Wetland Interest Group began as a virtual community network of people who care about our remnant environment. Since 2012, our aim is to see Baigup Wetland protected and preserved into the future as a valuable natural resource for wildlife, for the health of the Swan River, and for human recreation, wellbeing and education.
Our major objective is to encourage community interest in Baigup by building awareness of its history, natural assets, and challenges through a program of community activities and education. An electronic newsletter is issued four times a year.
Weeding days are held several times a year to support the work of City of BayswaterÂ’s Department of Sustainable Environment and members work closely with the City on matters such as habitat preservation for birds, damage to infrastructure, changes in water regimes, algal blooms, new weed infestations, etc. We also liaise with other government and non government agencies responsible for protecting, restoring and preserving Baigup Wetland.
