Tarryn Johnston founded Hennops Revival in November 2019, inspired by a devastating flood that severely affected the Hennops River area. Despite initial challenges and scepticism, Tarryn’s deep passion for the environment fuelled her commitment to cleaning up the river and its surroundings.

In the last 4 years, Tarryn and her team have cleaned up over 4.5 million kilograms of waste, logged 26,000 volunteer hours, created more than 8,000 job opportunities and impacted over 207 million Kilolitres of water!!!

Tarryn joins Good Things Guy to discuss the evolution of Hennops Revival from a single river clean-up to a large-scale initiative. She shares her experiences of facing doubt and criticism but emphasises her unwavering dedication to making a difference.
