Our waterways
Look closely, give wildlife room
Freshwater creeks and rivers are home to platypus, frogs, water rats and many small creatures. There’s plenty to notice near the water: a ripple, a reed moving, or a track in the mud.
Pip always gives wild animals space. When we respect wildlife and look after our local waterways one small discovery at a time, we become little protectors of the places we love.
