River Care Yarns @ the Kurilpa Derby

Help us plan ways to care for the Maiwar River!

Are you interested in bushcare, regeneration and caring for Country?

Brisbane has 12 fantastic catchment groups that help make Brisbane waterways healthy, diverse (and more capable of handling floods). But what about the Maiwar (Brisbane River)?

Let’s strategise ways to care for our plot of the river and support the resilience of our river ecosystem.

Did you know that mangroves act as a physical shield and a sponge to soak up floodwaters? Restoring mangrove forests is 2 to 5 times cheaper than building engineered structures that protect from sea level rise and storm surges!

Join the Kurilpa Derby festivities and stop in for a yarn with members of Resilient Kurilpa & WECA to contribute your ideas and learn how you can get involved in! Look for our rolling noticeboards.
