Join us at Stitts Creek, Taree South, with expert Bush Regeneration Consultant, Melanie Ledgett, to learn about different approaches to restoring native vegetation along degraded creeklines. We will discuss best practice bush regeneration techniques and strategies, weed prioritisation and control methods, and native plant identification. We will look at strategies for dealing with mature Camphor Laurels along creeks, including utilising Camphors as hosts to Strangler Figs and for hollow provision for our native arboreal mammals.

Experts from the Biodiversity Conservation Trust, Local Land Services and MidCoast Council will talk about :

erosion mitigation and approval processes required for major works in riparian zones
restoration of creeklines and improving water quality
how healthy waterways support biodiversity and improve productivity
what local flora and fauna utilise creek ecosystems.

We will provide morning tea and light lunch. Please let us know if you have any dietary requirements.

Please wear closed shoes and sun protection. Insect repellent is recommended.

You are encouraged to bring photos of your own riparian zones for discussion about management and restoration.

We acknowledge the Biripi Nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which this Landcare field day will be held. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging, and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The Biripi Nation have a deep connection to the land and have been caring for it for thousands of years. They have a deep understanding of the land's ecosystems and how to manage them sustainably.

This event is possible thanks to the shared work of the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust and Landcare NSW under the Private Land Conservation Matters project.
