Twice a year, volunteer citizen scientists from across the Richmond River catchment head out to their local creeks and rivers to gather water quality data.  

This data feeds into a catchment-wide scorecard that tells us about the health of these waterways and how that health is changing over time. Previous scorecards can be viewed here: https://richmondriver.org.au/report-card

Richmond Landcare Inc are holding three citizen science events in May and June in Tuntable and Terania creeks upstream from the Channon, which is the focus area of their Nature-based Solutions project.

If you’re a budding scientist or are interested in learning about water health, they welcome you to join them to contribute to the collective understanding of the health of our Richmond River catchment.

Richmond Landcare Inc is a non-profit community-led Landcare network formed in 1998 to support landcare in the Richmond River catchment.

​

The aim is to provide support to new and established Landcare groups and the wider community through partnerships with local environmental organisations and councils in the Richmond Catchment.

These events are an opportunity for people to take part in data collection on the health of our creeks, which feed into a catchment-wide scorecard on how our Richmond River health is tracking.

The three field day events at 53 Terania Street, The Channon:

1. Thursday 22nd May, 8.30 - 11.30 am
2. Tuesday 27th May, 8.30 to 11.30 am
3. Thursday 12th June, 8.30 to 1 pm

Go along to one or all of these events and contribute to this innovative citizen science program. No experience is necessary, and all ages are welcome.

This project received funding from the Australian Government.
