WET Restoration Consultant, Stephen Brailsford, was a presenter at the National Wetland Restoration Symposium in Invercargill in March 2012. Stephen explained the practical lessons learned from WET’s Riparian Restoration Programme and the current Sustainable Drain Management project to a large and enthusiastic audience from around New Zealand. His presentation (which can be downloaded here) features many before and after photos and shows what can be achieved with good planning and efficient use of resources. Presentation notes help to explain the messages included in the presentation.
