Join the Rivers of Carbon team for a planting day to enhance biodiversity and water quality in the Boorowa River on Saturday May 10.

Learn about river restoration and its impact on native species such as the Superb Parrot and Southern Pygmy Perch.

The event begins at 10am at the farm shearing shed with morning tea before carpooling to the planting site in Binalong, NSW.

Rivers of Carbon staff will demonstrate native tree and shrub planting, while local farmer Tom will discuss site preparation and restoration efforts on his property.

After planting, attendees will enjoy a sausage sizzle lunch before joining a guided gully walk led by Jed Pearson and Alex James.

The walk will showcase a restoration project, highlight the benefits of livestock exclusion in erosion control, and introduce the Stream Condition Checklist, a tool for assessing riparian health.

This free event requires registration for catering purposes.

Directions will be provided one week prior.

Children are welcome but must be supervised near the river.

Attendees should wear sturdy shoes, dress for the weather, and bring gloves and a water bottle.

Rivers of Carbon is partnering with local farmers to restore six kilometres of stream and 40 hectares of riparian land, improving biodiversity and water quality.

This event is a great opportunity to contribute to conservation efforts while gaining practical restoration skills.
