Better Streets will speaking at a a panel discussion at the Wurridjal Festival.
Where: Hurlstone Memorial Reserve Community Centre in Hurlstone Park, NSW When: Thursday March 28, 6-8pm Panel Discussion Topic: Human health and river health - How do they come together on the Cooks River? How is the health of the Cooks River and the health of the communities linked? What does it mean to have a healthy urban river and a healthy community? The river connects to the streets of our neighborhoods. The rainwater connects the river to the bay. We connect to each other along the shared river path. How do we rethink these vital connections to green and 'blue' public spaces, to ensure a healthier city and river? This discussion forms part of the Wurridjal Festival. This celebration of strong communities and ecologies along the Cooks River, held between 14 March and 7 April, features over 30 free events including walks, clean-ups, bushcare and cycling. The Festival aims to reconnect communities with First Nations knowledge and care for Country by marking the start of a season when mullet (‘wurridjal’ in the Aboriginal languages of the Sydney region) enter the Cooks River during their pre-spawning migration along Australia’s east coast. Guests: Jennifer Newman (Wiradjuri woman, Cooks River Valley Association), will be joined by Dr Megan Sharkey from Better Streets, Kiran Kashyap from Regen Sydney and Dr Andrew Thomas from the Cooks River Alliance, to discuss the Cooks River, as an active transport corridor, animal habitat and public space.
