The aim of this project is to involve community members in the early detection and reporting of weeds so that ACT government and NSW council weeds officers can respond quickly to minimise the potential spread of problem weeds.

We want to identify and better understand everywhere within town where water flows toward, into, and along our waterways including riparian (water-side) corridors:• Where do we have flooding and flows, especially with Spring snowmelt and rainstorms.• What is the water quality and when – generally clear? Sometimes or always turbid (muddy)? Forms pools and gets real funky?• What flora and fauna does the water support – willows? Songbirds? Pollinators? Frogs? • What are the seasonal patterns?

Engage volunteers to collect water quality data on their local streams
