Events

Rivers of Carbon (RoC) runs in-person and online events to showcase the amazing work being delivered in partnership with landholders and to help explain what we do.

We run the following types of events:

  • Showcase completed RoC projects – with tours by generous landholders
  • Tips on how to better manage land – with expert advice
  • Other events that combine input from scientists, land managers and landholders

We pay our respects to the traditional Aboriginal Peoples of this country, and acknowledge Aboriginal Peoples, past, present and emerging, as the original natural resources managers of this land.

Upcoming events

Gudgenby River

Gudgenby River Planting Day – Corporate event

Fri, 28th April 2023, 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM AEST

eWater Limited will be joining us to revegetate a site on the Gudgenby River by planting 600 trees and shrubs near Honeysuckle Creek. Recent high rainfall events have caused extreme bank erosion on sections of Honeysuckle Creek, depositing large amounts of soil, sand and sediment into the Gudgenby River, smothering aquatic habitat downstream. Our work will ensure that Gudgenby River is more resilient to such extreme events in future. This is a private event for eWater Limited staff only.  If your organisation is interested in doing a planting day with us please get in touch.

Our work in the Gudgenby is funded by by ACT Government’s Healthy Waterways Program.
