Richmond and Brunswick Catchment Model
The model is a scaled down version of where we live, work and play. It has a flowing river, water supply dam, town, farms, beach and more. Through demonstrations and with audience help, it is a captivating tool to develop an appreciation of how everything in the environment is interconnected and to identify ways we can change our behaviour to create a healthy, alive and living catchment. The Catchment Model is available free for community groups, schools and educational events.
