Come and help us find out what’s living in your local creek. Led by Dr Brendan Cox, freshwater ecologist and committee member of the Richmond Riverkeeper.
No experience needed. On the day we’ll collect and identify water bugs and drop a BRUV (baited remote underwater video camera) in the water to see what fish are around.
Water bugs tell us a lot about creek health — some only survive in clean water, others can handle pollution. Right now the Richmond River catchment is sitting on a C- grade in the Richmond River Ecohealth Report Card. Your data helps us track whether things are improving.
Refreshments provided.
Cost – Flexible pricing including student/concession, mob tix, and a members discount.
Become a Riverkeeper – Join us and lets work together to make rivers swimmable, fishable and drinkable. You, me — We Are The Riverkeepers.
This event is being held on the lands of the Widjabul Wia-bal people of the Bundjalung Nation. The lands and waterways of the Richmond Catchment are the unceded territories of Bundjalung peoples. The Richmond Riverkeeper Association pays respects to the Ancestors, who cared for Country since time began, and to all communities and Custodians, who continue to speak and care for their Country and Water.
This event is presented by the Richmond Riverkeeper with support from the Australian Government through the Emergency Response Fund, administered by NSW Reconstruction Authority’s Northern Rivers Recovery and Resilience Program 2022-23. Delivered by North Coast Regional Landcare Network through the Caring for Catchments project.
