			<media:description type="html"><![CDATA[Introducing Wirey Swamp Restoration Reserve - Stage 2!  
An expansion on the Wirey Swamp Restoration Reserve secured in 2025. 
Stage 2 will protect two nearby wetlands to create a functional and complimentary network benefiting a variety of species, including Growling Grass Frogs and Brolga. 

The Stage 2 property has been temporarily secured by Nature Glenelg Trust, but will not be permanently incorporated into the new Reserve until we clear the land purchase debt. 

If you're in a position to help, and wish to be part of practical environmental solutions, we'd very much appreciate your support!

To donate and find out more, please visit:  
						ngt.org.au
All donations will be matched, doubling your impact.
