Riparian Restoration and Waterwatch

This is an edited webinar recording from July 10, 2024.
Water is the lifeblood of rural landscapes and essential for everyone in the community. At this webinar Lori Gould and Jed Pearson from the Australian River Restoration Centre will discuss riparian restoration and Waterwatch.
Join us to explore how water and vegetation management are key drivers for food webs, biodiversity and water quality. Learn how managing stock, erosion, fencing and woody weeds impact water catchments and some simple monitoring you can do at your place to measure water quality and diversity.
