We have worked with local land holders and school to fence and plant along rivers edge, protecting against inappropriate development near mouth of Estuary through VCAT appeals, monitoring hooded plover nesting's at mouth of River for birds Australia also assisting with school education, done waterwatch monitoring of water quality/condition, produced an environmental awareness newsletter, do submissions for anything to do with our aims, attend seminars, lectures etc and also support where needed then report back to other members who could not attend.
Our work covers the whole Surry River catchment area but has been taken up mainly with the estuary so far.
