"Two decades of evolving water management and monitoring in the Barmah-Millewa Forest"

Speaker: Keith Ward, Wetland Ecologist, Goulburn-Broken CMA

Venue: Room 6101, La Trobe University, Albury-Wodonga campus

The last two decades has seen a large shift in environmental consciousness and allocations of water to the environment due to very apparent changes in wetland landscapes and biota. Research and monitoring is now driving adaptive management, although more remains to be achieved. Barmah-Millewa Forest, the largest River Red Gum wetland reserve in the world, serves as a tremendous local case study of our changing focus on environmental values. This seminar is being presented by Keith Ward, a wetland ecologist with Goulburn-Broken CMA, who has worked on environmental water planning in Barmah-Millewa Forest for past 23 years.

Drinks and locally produced gourmet food to follow.
