Climate Adaptation Workshop – Hunter Wetlands Centre/Ash Island

November 21 @ 9:30 am – 3:30 pm
Climate change is requiring us to review and adapt our Landcaring to safeguard the natural places we love, whether that’s your property, Landcare site or local piece of bush. We also need to understand what’s changing with ecological processes across our region and work together to create collaborative responses.
This workshop will be a practical day of learning, led by restoration expert, Peter Dixon, and meteorologist, Graham Creed.
- The morning includes discussion around impacts of changing climate, and best practice ecological restoration techniques to address these concerns.
- The afternoon is a field visit to Ash Island to observe climate impacts and explore possible responses to support the health and resilience of the habitats — saltmarsh, a fragile habitat crucial for blue carbon sequestration, mangroves and rare, Lower Hunter Dry Rainforest.
