You’re warmly invited to register for an upcoming webinar: Native Trees in Integrated River Bio-engineering

OVERVIEW
This webinar will explore critical questions including:

• How suitable are native woody species for environmental protection along watercourses?
• Which roles in channel stabilization can native trees fulfill—streams, rivers, berm edges, primary or supporting roles?
• What plant properties are most beneficial for catchment bioengineering?
• Which native species are best suited for these purposes?

KEY TAKEAWAY
Gain insights and recommendations to inform strategies for using native plantings on river berms within managed river schemes.

PRESENTERS

• Ian McIvor is a senior scientist with the Bioeconomy Science Institute with interests in researching trees as bioengineering tools for flood protection and soil stabilisation
• Ian Heslop is an experienced practitioner within Regional Councils in both North Island and South Island, and currently is a consultant river engineer with Environment Canterbury
