More about Wetlands.edu and its partner

organisations

Wetlands.edu is:

   A national wetland education and management training
   program aimed primarily at regional natural resource
   management and catchment bodies and their stakeholders,
   including Landcare and river management groups, local
   governments and private landholders.

   The training is to be delivered through wetland centres and
   key regional towns and cities.  A primary focus of the
   training will be on retaining or improving the condition of
   wetland assets.  This will be achieved through improved
   local and regional/catchment-level knowledge of the latest
   wetland planning and management practices. 

   The program will cover a broad range of subject matter,
   such as surveys and rapid assessment processes, data
   collation and management, condition monitoring, asset
   prioritisation, community engagement and awareness
   raising, target setting and strategic investment planning.

   As foreshadowed on the main page, the goal is to continue
   Wetlands.edu beyond the three year NHT investment
   through the phasing in of user-pays, sponsorships and by
   forming strategic partnerships.  The program has already
   secured the Murray-Darling Basin Commission as its first
   strategic partner. For more details follow this link.

   As part of securing the long-term future of Wetlands.edu,
   the consortium partners have developed a Strategic and
   Business Plan 2005-2008.  This sets out the vision, goals,
   objectives and scope of the program, and how it will be
   developed for self-funding by the end of 2008. A pdf copy
   of the Plan can be downloaded here.
