Through the year our teams undertake training in various areas. Earlier in the year, the ecology team at Redleaf Group spent a day in the field understanding the importance of riparian revegetation and learning about the methods used to support its regeneration. Riparian vegetation refers to the plant life that grows along the banks of rivers, streams, creeks, and other flowing bodies of water. These plants play a vital role in stabilising soil along waterways, helping to reduce erosion and sedimentation. In turn, this supports the health of our ecosystems by maintaining water quality for the plants and animals that depend on these habitats. They visited sites with varying levels of success, which helped them to better understand factors to consider when embarking on revegetation projects. Some factors include suitability of species to be planted, soil types, topography and the existing vegetation. The team are keen to revisit the sites in the coming months and years to see the progress of the little seedlings.
