2019 World Rowing Sustainability Award | Spring Creek Regeneration Project

In November 2019, the Spring Creek Regeneration Project were awarded the 2019 World Rowing Sustainability award. The Spring Creek Regeneration Project is a collaboration of both Kinross Wolaroi School (KWS) and the Orange City Council, established and driven by the Master in Charge of Rowing, Tobias Wehr-Candler at KWS. The project focuses on conserving the local biodiversity and maintaining ecosystem function; whilst having a positive impact on the surrounding lands and waterways. Many of the rowers and family of rowers from KWS volunteered to be a part of the project in removing non-native trees and weeds and planting native species to regenerate the Spring Creek area.
