Reg and Dulcie Toseland are fondly remembered by older members of the Society. They were both very active in the Society during the days when the old Conservation Hut was the headquarters of the Society and were among the volunteers who helped to operate it as a tea room at weekends, providing light refreshments, information and environmental education to the public. Reg was President of the Society in 1986. Then in 1987-1989 Dulcie was President and Reg had the job of Secretary. In 1990 Reg filled the position of “Hut Supplies Officer”. Following the opening of the new Conservation Hut, Reg became an "Elder Statesman" of the Society, and was an invaluable source of information and guidance to new members of the Management MONTHLY MEETING Committee.

    147 CHAPTER SIX STAGE THREE : THE FUTURE TRAJECTORY OF CHANGE AND RECOVERY POTENTIAL OF RIVERS IN BEGA CATCHMENT 6.1 Introduction and outline of this chapter The analysis of river recovery potential interprets the trajectory of likely future reach adjustments under circumstances in which the reach is not subject to direct intervention (i.e. whether geomorphic condition improves, remains relatively the same, or deteriorates). This analysis is framed in terms of the current trajectory of change under current management practices and predictions of recovery potential based over a 50-100 year timeframe. We recognise explicitly that future river responses/pathways will reflect management strategies. Hopefully, as strategies are implemented, the trajectory and potential for recovery will improve throughout the system. Hence, this assessment provides a contemporary statement of recovery pathways for river courses in Bega catchment. The procedures employed aid determination of the types of measures that can be undertaken to enhance the natural recovery processes of each river course. Adoption of these adaptive management principles requires responses to limiting factors and pressures that operate in the system. There are two steps in the determination of geomorphic recovery potential in Stage Three of the River Styles framework (Figure 6.1). Figure 6.1 Steps in Stage Three of the River Styles framework Stage Three, Step One: Determine the trajectory of river change ⇓ Stage Three, Step Two: Assess river recovery potential: Place reaches in their catchment context and assess limiting factors to recovery In the sections that follow, core products that appraise the geomorphic recovery of rivers across Bega catchment are presented.
