Minister
for the River Murray, Hon. Karlene Maywald will be joining the Upper
Murray
Youth Council on a field trip to celebrate their environmental
achievements
throughout 2008.
Throughout
2008 students from Renmark, Loxton, Waikerie and Glossop High
schools
have been meeting once per month to discuss and learn about
environmental
issues affecting their schools and communities. They have attended
several
environmental conferences and workshops including the MyRiver Murray
Program in
Renmark, and the Youth Environment Conference in Adelaide.
In
November students will make the trip to Calperum Station where they
will learn
about new educational programs run at the station. They will be joined
for lunch
and discussions by the Hon. Karlene Maywald.
Students
will brief Minister Maywald on the activities they have taken part in
during
the year. Minister Maywald will present
each student with a certificate for their involvement with the group in
2008.
A
highlight of the day will be a canoe tour of Ral Ral Creek which will
be a
great way for the students to have fun and also learn about the flora
and fauna
in that area.
