Revisiting the RRR Conference – Part 1 – Unlocking the self-sustaining restoration potential of drained wetlands
Back in February 2017, I went along to one of the most interesting and – given NGT’s focus on restoration science and practice – most relevant conferences I have ever attended. The Restore, Regenerate, Revegetate (RRR) Conference in Armidale was a fantastic opportunity to rub shoulders with people just like us, trying to get positive things done on the ground, from all over Australia.
I tried to make the most of being there by presenting on four different restoration topics, and subsequently wrote up short (2-page) papers on three of them that were recently published in the conference proceedings.
Over the next few months, we’ll revisit and share these papers.
First up is “Unlocking the self-sustaining restoration potential of drained wetlands” (click on link left to download the pdf), a paper that used three NGT wetland restoration sites for a comparative case study in hydrological restoration methods and outcomes – as shown in the table below.
Despite employing different methods to suit the specific circumstances of each site, the restoration outcome unfolding in each case speaks for itself!
