Alcoa Rehabilitation Field Trip

Are you a student or early-career professional and interested in how environmental restoration is planned, implemented and monitored in the mining sector?

In collaboration with Alcoa Australia, Restore WA invites you to a one-day field trip to Alcoa's Huntly operation in the Northern Jarrah to see what goes into rehabilitation efforts in a forested landscape in South-West Western Australia.

During this one-day event, attendees will have the opportunity to:

1. Get a tour across Alcoa's rehabilitation efforts from pre-1980 till now, and understand the factors that influenced rehabilitation efforts across time.

2. Hear from Alcoa staff working across topsoil management, botany and fauna to learn about what goes into mine rehabilitation across the stages of a mining cycle.

3. Learn about the array of research programs currently being undertaken through the Forest Research Centre to improve rehabilitation outcomes across Alcoa's operations.

Important information

• Capacity: This event has a capacity of 40 people. As we expect this will fill up quickly, we ask that you express your interest first by the 23rd of August. Attendees will then be selected based on responses to the EOI form, and notified in the week before the tour whether they have been successful.

• Getting to and from the tour: Attendees will be able to take a tour bus from Perth CBD to and from the event, with one further pick-up spot to be confirmed south of the city closer to the event. This will be provided free of charge.

• Catering: Lunch on the day will be provided. Please provide dietary restrictions in your EOI form.

Kind regards,

Restore WA Committee
