Welcome to Snowy River Thinking, the home of the Lower Snowy River Rehabilitation Trial Schools' Program.
Teachers in the Snowy River Schools' cluster, together with the teacher-coordinator of the Lower Snowy River Rehabilitation Trial Schools' Program (LSRRTSP), have put together a program of events and activities that provide learning experiences within the context of the Snowy River environment. In particular, students participate in monitoring the progress of the Lower Snowy River Rehabilitation Trial and the outcomes of their activities and studies are reported here. The Lower Snowy River Rehabilitation Trial is intended to improve the health of the river and this includes improving the habitat for fish and other fauna and flora as well as improving the riparian (streamside) vegetation. The instream health can be improved by modifying river flow behaviour to create a more diverse river bed by scouring deep pools in the sandy river bottom. As the river flow is not sufficient to do this by itself, installation of instream structures (large woody debris) that will result in large pools being scoured in the bed has been undertaken. It is anticipated that if this approach is successful monitoring will reveal changes over time. The LSRRTSP aims to involve students of the Snowy River cluster in every stage of the process. |
