Hallo folks This week CSIRO and the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) under the Northern Rivers Resilience Initiative (NRRI) are running a series of community consultation events. The initiative is focused on understanding climate, catchment and hydrological drivers in the Richmond River Catchment. It also aims to find evidence-based ways to reduce flooding in the Richmond River catchment. They have provided 15 possible options for flood mitigation. They are calling these a conversation starter. The list of options does not include any nature-based solutions options. Advice from CSIRO is that NBS can be put forward as an alternative option, but they need to have detail of what type of nature-based solutions are and where they are occurring in the catchment. RLI is delivering the pilot project Nature-based Solutions: Building Flood Resilience in the Lismore Catchment. The pilot is collecting evidence to demonstrate and quantify how reforestation can reduce the volume, intensity and frequency of flooding in the lower catchment, as well as reducing erosion and improving water quality (see link below for more information). The project is funded through the NEMA, and administered through Reconstruction Authority, under the federal Disaster Ready Fund initiative. Given that NEMA is funding our project, we believe it is prudent that our project is included as a scenario in the next stage of the NRRI, to compare the results with other scenarios being proposed. It is important to note that we are not suggesting other options are excluded, just that our project should be included. If you wish to make a formal submission that includes this nature-based solutions option, please visit a face-to-face meeting and add the following in the form they give you on the day or log in online submission form (links to these options are in our link below), select “other” and add the following: “Reforestation of riparian and floodplain areas in upper sub-catchment streams, as a nature-based solution, at a landscape scale using Richmond Landcare Inc. data” And please share among your networks.

This workshop is the first in of a series of workshops aimed at increasing awareness about First Nations practice for our Landcare members and broader community. This event will leave you informed and inspired about Bundjalung plants with a cultural significance. Plants that are significant for art/craft or tool making and also for riparian restoration will be the focus of the event. There will be workshops on art, weaving, ethnobotany, garden design, language and the significance of culturally important plants. We will also be planting out a garden with the plants featured in the workshops. The workshop will run from 10am to 2pm, and is fully catered. Your hosts are Richmond Landcare Incorporated and the Bundjalung Tribal Society, Namabunda Farm.
