February 2025 working bee

It’s time to gear up for our 2025 working bee program. Last year, we made significant strides in enhancing the Bega River’s habitat and biodiversity, reducing invasive weed cover, and creating resilient riverbanks to withstand increased erosion pressures from extreme natural events under a changing climate.
