St Patrick's River Flood Recovery
Pattersonia, Tas

A state wide community based project aimed at assisting those affected by the June floods. This program is a partnership between Conservation Volunteers and TasNetworks, together we are delivering on ground assistance to improve and restore natural areas that were recently damaged. Volunteers will undertake activities such as debris removal, revegetation, erosion control techniques and fencing. Projects will be located on both private and community land and will be located in the Derwent Valley, East Coast, North and North West areas.

St Patrick's River was one of the first rivers to flood in the June floods that hit Launceston. We will be assixsting local landowners to remove debris from fencelines and restore fences where needed. Some situations will require a full rebuild of fences. For new volunteers, this provides a great opportunity to learn some fencing skills and help your local community, while having great fun at the same time.

We will provide transport from Launceston, departing at 8:00am and returning around 4:00pm. Or if you live local you can meet on-site by prior arrangement.
