Improving Water Quality in the Jerrabomberra Creek Catchment

Rivers of Carbon is a community driven initiative that focuses on connecting and linking riparian rehabilitation projects with remnant vegetation and other works. We work with landowners and community groups to rehabilitate riparian areas for biodiversity, carbon sequestration, reduced sedimentation, and improved stock management. We also raise awareness, share knowledge and celebrate the many values our rivers have for communities – both human and ecological.
