Two successful workshops were held with approximately 50 enthusiastic participants at each. Participants were presented with latest research on river red gums, pointed out noteworthy birds, trees and shrubs. Discussions about the carbon sequestration benefits of riparian vegetation, as well as its value in providing a range of ecosystem services and providing habitat and connectivity through cotton landscapes were conducted during the workshops.

Present research on Rivercare (riparian zone management) and soil carbon during kayaking fieldtrips at Gogeldrie and Hay, Southern NSW. A series of kayaking workshops have been organised by Vogel Consulting, local Landcare and Cottoninfo staff across the cotton growing regions, to illustrate the importance, and some of the lesser known values of riparian zones.
