Peel River – Tamworth, NSW
Caring for the Peel
OzFish Northwest Chapter will work alongside Tamworth Regional Landcare Association to replant the western bank of the Peel River from Jewry St Bridge to beginning of Wallamore Annabranch.
The area encompassing Jewry St weir and kayak launch area and confluence of Barnes Gully and Peel river, regularly used by recreational fishers and the general public, will have weeds removed and 1800+ native trees planted in their place. Fishos and the community are encouraged to be involved in planting and caring for this stretch of their local river. The fish will soon be enjoying clearer water, more shade and more insects falling for their lunch.
Tackle Loop
Tackle Loop is OzFish’s solution to provide a home for recreational fishers’ old, unwanted, and broken gear. Working with our partners, we will take in old and discarded gear before ensuring it is recycled instead of polluting Australia’s waterways or ending up in landfill.
