Mapping Willow Trees
November 24, 2017 - November 26, 2017
Are you aged 18 to 35? Care about the environment and want to connect with like minded locals (in kayaks)?
Then this event is for you! West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority is partnering with Gippsland Intrepid Landcare to host a willow mapping kayak trip.
Information gathered will be used to help inform the works program – knowing where the willows are makes it easier to target them.
We are excited to announce our SECOND event that we have been tirelessly planning!
We will be kayaking throughout the Macalister Gorge Natural Features and Scenic Reserve near Glenfollch mapping willow trees for the West Gippsland CMA. Willows are a massive weed in the headwaters of our catchment.They affect water quality, their roots clog smaller waterways, they drop vast amounts of leaf matter as they’re deciduous and they use a lot of water. They easily break off and seed all the way downstream, so we need to get the top of the rivers cleaned up!
We stress that there are ONLY 25 spots available so it is first in, best dressed!!

We are really excited to hold this next event and it will be a lot of fun!! So get keen!!
