School Workshops: Scientists inspire the next generation of water managers

Description

We know that seeing and experiencing is believing, so if we want to inspire future environmental water managers, we need to give them opportunities to learn and understand how our river ecosystems function. In December 2020, six workshops were held at the Western Murray Land Improvement Group (WMLIG) centre in Barham to give primary and secondary students a hands-on experience of environmental science. These workshops enabled students to learn about how our rivers function directly from the scientists that study these important ecosystems. The workshops were led by Robyn Watts, Nicole McCasker, Xiaoying Liu (Sha sha) and Roseanne
Farrant from Charles Sturt University, with wonderful assistance from WMLIG staff.
