AN INFORMATION session is being held for the community and flood affected land holders to uncover how the May flood impacted the riverbanks of the Manning Estuary.
The free expert led information session will be hosted at the Taree University Campus on Saturday 27 September from noon to 2.30pm.
Environmental specialists Damon Telfer and James Daley from Fruition Environmental will lead the session.
Both speakers recently completed a bank erosion and riparian condition study commissioned by DPI Fisheries under the NSW Estuary Asset Protection Program.
“Participants will gain insights into the findings of the study, a guided walk and talk to see the issues and discuss options for management solutions at a demonstration site,” MidCoast Council said in a statement.
“Practical tips will be provided for landholders on restoring riparian areas including simple actions like fencing stock out and/or planting native vegetation.”
The project is funded by the Manning River Estuary Coastal Management Program.
MidCoast Council has partnered with the Community Environment Network to deliver this event as part of a series called ‘Know Your Estuary’.
