Clarence River Guardians Workshop

Next date: Sunday, 13 April 2025 | 11:00 AM to 03:00 PM

The wellbeing, economy and lifestyles of all people of the Clarence Valley are interdependent with the health of the Clarence River and its ecosystems. Clarence River Guardians are a broad group of people from the Clarence Valley who love and care about the Clarence River and its tributaries.

At this workshop come and hear from water and river experts and learn how to participate in the massive citizen science sediment survey, and how we will interweave science, culture and art.

The Clarence River Guardians project is a citizen science partnership with Southern Cross University that is focused on increasing knowledge, education and raising awareness about the water quality and health of the Clarence River. The project is being developed by a Working Group that formed in November 2024. The Working Group represents a broad cross-section of community groups, industry and government representatives.

The health of the Clarence River catchment is impacted by urban and rural human activities. Potential mining activities risk negative impacts on river water quality, river sediment quality and aquatic ecosystem health. These risks are being met with a groundswell of wide community concern.

 

This event is part of Plunge Arts & Culture Festival.
