World Wetlands Day 2021

Wednesday, 27 January 2021

Every year the Tamar Island Wetlands Centre (TIWC) celebrates World Wetlands Day on 2 February with an all-day event at the wetlands.

This year they will celebrate in quite a different way.

The Parks and Wildlife Service (PWS) has made the difficult decision not to proceed with the celebration event as in previous years. Due to the growing popularity of previous events (over 600 people attended last year), combined with limited space at the TIWC and current COVID-19 restrictions it is not possible to hold an event in the same format. This was a difficult decision, however the health and safety of visitors, volunteers, staff and stakeholders remains top priority.

HOW WILL WE CELEBRATE? On 2 February the PWS will launch a range of activities for visitors to complete in their own time throughout the month at the Tamar Wetlands. For more details, please keep an eye on the PWS website www.parks.tas.gov.au and social media pages @tasmaniaparks.

TIWC operating hours are Wednesday - Sunday between 10am - 4pm. The PWS looks forward to celebrating the World Wetlands theme “Wetlands and Water” with you throughout February.
