Plants & Animals of the Creek & Wetlands
The Kororoit Creek & Deanside Wetlands are home to a variety of native plants and animals. It is important that we maintain this habitat by keeping it clean, keeping older large trees (for hollows), remove invasive weeds & pest species, and by planting new habitat. Below are some of the species of plants and animals you might see (see Featherwood Bird Hide for bird species).
