RiverConnect was founded in 2005 and is a Shepparton-Mooroopna community initiative designed to raise awareness about the environment and protect the “heart and soul of the community” — the Goulburn and Broken rivers.

According to the group, it aims to promote a “whole-of-community approach to reconnect people to the river environment whilst protecting and enhancing these spaces”.
It regularly organises a variety of programs involving schools and communities each year to raise awareness about the environment and plant native shrubs and trees to revegetate areas.
On Thursday, July 4, RiverConnect ran a community event in Mooroopna and invited the local community to a tree-planting workshop.
The News photographer Rechelle Zammit attended and took a few shots.
