Did you know satellites can help monitor our environment? Join experts from Landgate's Satellite Remote Sensing Services (SRSS) at Cockburn Wetlands Education Centre on Saturday 20 November 2010, to learn about earth observation satellites and how they can be used to track changes in native vegetation.
