Giving back to the river that holds us 🌿

We spend so much time moving through this ecosystem ... paddling its currents, camping on its banks, learning from its moods. It feels only right that we give something back.

At the Clarence River Wilderness Lodge, the river flats play an important role in fire protection. But wide open grasslands can make it hard for wildlife to safely move between the old growth forest and the river.

So we’ve been getting our hands dirty.

Planting native lilly pilly trees to increase diversity in a corridor that was once mostly sheoak. Creating safer passageways. Adding food sources for birds and animals. Strengthening the threads that connect forest to water.

It’s small, steady work but being part of an ecosystem means participating in its wellbeing, as it gives so much to us!!
