Membership Information
Over the years volunteers of Riverwatch have represented an excellent cross section of the Shoalhaven community, including oyster farmers, fishers, farmers, riverside residents, medical professionals, government employees, retirees, civic leaders and local business people.
As Riverwatch is a non profit and non political organization, volunteers are attracted by a primary objective to improve the health of the Shoalhaven River, particularly downstream from Tallawa Dam at Kangaroo Valley, NSW.
New volunteers are most welcomed. Even if you are unable to assist with our various activities, your help will be invaluable to strengthen the representation of Riverwatch in our community.
