This workshop, led by Siwan Lovett, showcased the tools and techniques developed over a decade of riparian research by the National Riparian Lands R&D Program.

Leigh Thompson - Using the Rapid Appraisal of Riparian Condition

Discussion of how tool can be used, various components, comparison of two/three sites to show different condition scores, how the RARC can be tailored, where to go for more information.

Robyn Watts - Role of riparian vegetation for in-stream health

Relationship of riparian vegetation and in-stream health, why vegetation is important for food webs and shading, discussion about biodiversity in ecological communities along the river, role of wood, where to go for more information.

Ian Lunt  - Revegetating and regenerating riparian vegetation

What are the factors that impact on riparian vegetation and how can they be manipulated for improved outcomes, stock management and grazing regimes, different vegetation communities, revegetation and regeneration techniques, staging restoration efforts, link to catchment scale, where to go for more information.
