Accountancy was dull and boring, leading to a disenchanted Meg Pethybridge (pictured) abandoning those studies and in thinking about her real passion, the environment, she joined the Shepparton-based organization, RiverConnect, about 18 months ago.

RiverConnect is an initiative of the Shepparton-Mooroopna community to acknowledge the Goulburn and Broken rivers as the heart and soul of the community and is funded jointly by the City of Greater Shepparton and the Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority.

Meg's passion for the rivers in the area is almost palpable, as is her desire to protect and enrich the prevalent flora and fauna in the area and, along with that, take the community with her.
