Ancient River Oaks on The Bega River

The Bega River has been transformed from a once narrow and deep pristine waterway revered by the local Aboriginal peoples to a choked , sandy weedy trickle of a stream. However, as as result of the hard work of a few local volunteers the river is now reclaiming some of it's former glory. On the banks of the river grow some ancient and sacred Oak trees that are hundreds of years old. Chris Allen is the President of the Bega River and Wetlands Landcare (BRAWL), the organisation responsible for the river's regeneration. In this conversation with Bertie he talks about how the diligence of just a few can have profound positive effects for the entire river system.
