The Community Environment Network (CEN) and Waterwatch NSW invite you to Breakfast with the Birds to celebrate World Wetlands Day on Sunday, February 2, at the Central Coast Wetlands.
Waterwarch Co-ordinator Rachael Kneeves said this year’s theme was Protecting Our Wetlands for our Common Future.
“2025 is the 20th anniversary of Breakfast with the Birds, an event we hold in association with the Central Coast Group of Birding NSW each year to celebrate the importance of wetlands and all the plants and animals who call them home,” she said.
“In addition to our usual guided bird walks, cultural talk, information stands and yummy breakfast, we are planning a massive tree planting event at the Central Coast Wetlands at Tacoma.
“The wetlands are one of the Central Coast’s best kept secrets and Breakfast with the Birds is an ideal opportunity for families and friends to come along and explore the site with us.”
Central Coast Wetlands is one of the largest areas of public open space in the Wyong area.
Visitors can take a stroll through nature walks, watch birds, visit the heritage-listed buildings and have a picnic while sitting back and enjoying the wetlands.
The cost of Breakfast with the Birds is $8 per person and children under four are free.
“We see so many multi-generation families enjoying Breakfast with the Birds and grandparents helping their grandchildren learn about nature and how to plant trees,” Kneeves said.
Doors open at 7.45am and the bird watching tour kicks off at 8.15am followed by breakfast accompanied by wetland information talks.
From 10am until noon there will be a range of activities including dip netting for water bugs, an indigenous workshop, tree planting and displays.
Walking shoes, a fold-up chair, binoculars and a reusable coffee cup will come in handy.
“In the lead-up to World Wetlands Day we are inviting the community to join the new CEN Tree Team,” Kneeves said.
“For a minimum donation of $10 up to any maximum, we are encouraging you to Sponsor a Tree so we can purchase as many seedlings as possible to plant as part of Breakfast with the Birds.
“We will be posting more information about the CEN Tree Team on our website and socials shortly.”
