Reforestation at Ryans Lagoon Wetlands

We are calling on workplaces and the community to participate in the landscape-scale plantings planned for Ryans Lagoon Wetlands this winter.  The reforestation will restore the canopy layer and improve habitat values and connectivity along the restored 66km Murray River corridor as well as at the nationally and culturally significant Ryans Lagoon Wetlands.  This project will help Traditional Owners deliver on their aspirations for this wetland site that is co-managed with Duduroa Dhargal Aboriginal Corporation’s Traditional Owners.

When: Weekdays 9:30 am to 1:00 pm; Sunday 9:00 am to 11:00 am.

Where: Park on Trabants Rd., Bonegilla, just off the junction of Snowdons Rd. and Ryans Rd.

What is supplied: All tools and any specific safety equipment needed.

What to bring: BYO drinking water. For your safety, please wear covered shoes (preferably boots), long pants, long sleeves, and a hat.

Please note: Carpooling is available for weekday sessions. If you wish to carpool from Gateway Village, please park along the Lincoln Causeway between Gateway Village and The Lincon, ready to leave by 9:00 am. You can let us know you wish to do this when you register.
