In September 2017, Ray White Real Estate staff from 6 offices volunteered their time to plant mangroves on the foreshore of Comerong Island.
The staff members planted 180 mangroves donated by Shoalhaven Riverwatch, and erected a fence to protect the mangroves from being covered with ribbon grass while they are establishing. Ray White Real Estate are setting a challenge to other local businesses who might like to get involved in caring for our local river. RiverWatch of Colorado
The Colorado River Watch website provides a good example of volunteers working together to monitor the health of over 300 rivers.

Rivers of Carbon is one of the ARCC's projects. The Rivers of Carbon project is an exciting initiative based in the southern tablelands of New South Wales. It is linking work already completed on sites along the upper Murrumbidgee and upper Lachlan Rivers to create living corridors of riparian vegetation. Riverspace is another project which brings together on-ground projects, recreational activities and tourism ventures that all link to waterways. |
