Lined Catchment Field Walk
Join BIGG for a field walk at the newly constructed 1‑ha poly‑lined catchment in Flaxman Valley. A first of its kind in the region, this 1‑ha catchment captures runoff that flows into an existing dam. Hear about why it was built, the requirements for building one and the steps involved in its construction.
