A wonderful wetland – Schwenkes Dam

Schwenkes Dam-2The Blackwood Basin Group is one of many community groups achieving amazing things for the environment in the Balingup region.

One of their key projects has been to create a wetland haven at Schwenkes Dam in Greenbushes. Schwenkes Dam is a steep-sided water body which was created during previous mining activities. With a huge amount of community support, the area is being rehabilitated to create a wetland habitat designed to attract and establish populations of water birds including three endangered bitterns. The dam is an easy bush walk from Greenbushes. You can walk around the dam and you might be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a Numbat or a flock of Red-tailed Black Cockatoo.  Blackwood Basin Group Website
