We’re proud to be one of the sponsors of the 2019 River Restoration Centre (RRC) Annual Network Conference and River Prize. With this year’s theme of ‘River Restoration in Practice’, it is looking like it will be one of the most successful yet, with over 360 delegates and 24 sponsors booked to attend.
We believe in the benefits that a whole systems approach can bring to providing sustainable solutions for catchment and river management challenges, both now and in the future.
As an industry leader with a multi-disciplinary team of specialists, we are giving four presentations over the two-day event:
| Day | Time | Session | Title | Speaker |
| Tuesday | 2:30 pm | Session 2 | Investigating channel sensitivity to morphological changes and impact on future flooding | Natasha Todd-Burley and Rebecca Ing |
| Tuesday | 3:40 pm | Session 3 | River Irwell: small streams, big WFD gains | Kim Jennings |
| Wednesday | 9:00 am | Workshop A | Land use change in response to climate change: outcomes for catchments from research for the Adaptation Sub Committee | Rachelle Ngai |
| Wednesday | 9:00 am | Workshop C | Assessing natural flood management opportunities and associated potential benefits in headwater catchment areas | Steve Rose and Ryan Jennings |
