Wet-feet is an innovative teaching resource for students developed around freshwater systems including dune lakes, streams, gum field drains and wetlands, and their native flora and fauna.

The teaching resource offers a resource book with units of work and supportive worksheets and standard forms and letters. It also has a well researched reference guide.

Although designed around far north freshwater systems, it can be easily adapted to suit any region's freshwater system.
