WHAT TO EXPECT:

Join us for a discussion about caring for our urban waterways and restoring riparian areas.  We will begin the day inside with presentations from our local experts and then head outside to explore local riparian projects along Shorewell Creek. 

SPEAKERS 

Phil Hrstich – Burnie City Council NRM Officer

• Phil will be talking to us about projects happening along the various creeks in Burnie and how community members can get involved. 

Tania Imlach - Alexander Creek Landcare

• Tania spends a lot of time in and around Burnie's creeks. She will share with us her work with Alexander Creek Landcare as well as her contract work tackling weeds in Burnie's riparian areas. 

Fiona Marshall - Cradle Coast NRM Biodiversity Program Manager

• Fiona has extensive on-ground experience in soil erosion, river management, river erosion works, property planning, and community engagement. Fiona will speak with us about maintaining healthy riparian areas to support the unique creatures that live in our creeks.

Come and learn about how to get involved with Landcare, the benefits of community working together and how to join your local group. We would love to meet anyone who walks, runs, cycles in or simply enjoys Burnie's native parklands.

Morning tea will be provided.
