Walk along the corridor with MRCCC

Friday 19 April 2013 Brad Wedlock from MRCCC walked along the corridor with two of the landholders and other GMA members.

We surveyed the erosion, looked at species diversity and visited biological control release sites.

Unfortunately it got too dark and we had to head back early before we reached the end of the corridor.

It was a great afternoon!

How rivers work and the implications for riparian restoration

On 11 March 2012, we had Peter McAdam, stream geomorphologist and Healthy Habitats/Land for Wildlife Officer at the Mary River Catchment Coordination Committee join us for our outdoor meeting. Peter gave a very informative presentation about "How Rivers work and the implications for Riparian Restoration".

You can watch excerpts from his presentation below.

Part 1 is about how to defining a river. 

Part 2 follows directly from Part 1 and in this, Peter focuses on the way rivers change. In particular he identifies some of the changes that have occurred as a result of European settlement.

You can view higher resolution images of these videos on GMA's Youtube Channel.

We hope to follow up with some surveys of the river bed to get a better understanding of what is happening in this section of the Mary River.
