Place-responsive Program Development ENV301

Introduction

Rivers form the backbone of many communities, histories, and natural ecosystems across the globe. In this unit you investigate and analyse characteristics and ecologies of river systems for safe travel and environmental interpretation. You will explore and evaluate natural and cultural aspects, catchment formation, hydrology, and ecosystems of specific Tasmanian river systems. Through hands-on fieldwork and weekly workshops, you gain the technical skills, knowledge, and confidence needed for safe travel in river environments and acquire a deep understanding of riverscapes.
