I would like to bring to your attention our 9th Annual Rehabilitation of Mined Lands Conference and hope that you might be able to promote it to your audience.
This annual conference is a significant event on the Hunter Region calendar. It provides an important avenue to promote the use of best-practice approaches in the management of rehabilitation of mined lands.
A strong list of domestic presenters, and poster presenters vying for $1000 of poster prizes will complement the international contingent. The enduring feature of this conference is once again the outstanding opportunity to network with government regulators, mine rehab practitioners, mine rehab service professionals, and mine rehab academia from Queensland, Northern Territory, NSW of course, Philippines, India, Indonesia, Chile, and South Africa.
With Workshops on Wed 19th June, Conference presentations and posters on 20th June and Mine tour on 21st June some 200 will attend the 9th Annual Mined Lands Rehabilitation Conference at NEX to hear and learn from world experts in how to restore, rehabilitate and revegetate mined land. Topics include tropical forest rehabilitation, acid mine drainage, the use of plants to draw contaminants from soil and water, and post-mining pathways to productive alternate land use. The internationally recognised tea bag index will be highlighted as the latest technology to monitor decomposition of restoration substrates! STEM Expert Scott Sleap will emphasise the importance of industry school partnerships in developing a continuous pipeline of STEM talent to service the emerging needs of the Mining Rehabilitation Industry.
Learnings from the past and present and projections into the future will be showcased as we move towards better and best practice in social, environmental and economic management of land post-mining.
