Planting for a Healthy River

Join us for a morning by the water and help plant native species to help improve fish habitat along the Nepean River!

Increasing the biodiversity within the riparian area will improve fish habitat for native fish species who call this river home by providing them with more shelter and food sources.

We are excited to partner with Bass Sydney Fishing Club who have a long connection to this site.

After we’ve finished planting, we’ll be enjoying a well-deserved BBQ.

All refreshments and activity equipment provided.

What do I need to wear and bring?

• Wear long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, sturdy closed-in shoes, a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
• Bring a bottle of water.
• Your own fishing gear for after the event 

The event is open to everyone with and without Bushcare experience. Children must be supervised by an adult.

Registrations are essential as spots are limited. 

Those who love to fish are welcome to stay after the event and fish this beautiful stretch of the river. Note anyone over the age of 18 who is holding a rod and fishing should have a licence. Exemptions include an adult supervising a youngster, or a pensioner with a pension card. Read more on the NSW DPI website under Fishing Rules and Regulations.
