Understanding your river – Tuesday 6 June – Sid Valley Biodiversity Group
At 1pm along the River Sid, starting at the School Weir near the Toll House entrance to the Byes.
We will walk from School Weir to Fortescue Weir focusing on the impacts of weirs in regard to their effect on habitat and fish passage. A general habitat assessment of the Sid will be conducted, pointing out the good and the bad bits, with discussions about appropriate recommendations.
