Who we are

The Holder Wetlands is a new ACT Governments Healthy Waterway Program site.

The Holder Wetlands Urban Landcare Group has been formed to look after and protect the Holder Wetlands, so that it remains a quality and lasting asset to the surrounding suburbs and Canberra.

“Our vision is a thriving wetland in a thriving community.”
