The project area forms an integral part of the Salisbury Waters system linking with Dangars Lagoon upland wetland. The main environmental issues are lack of connectivity between key remnant habitats, and loss of soil structure and bank stability through erosion of riparian areas caused by clearing for agriculture during the past 120 years. The project included the fencing out of stock over 4.45km of riparian land, replanting 13.75ha of riparian areas with site-specific native species to re-connect isolated woodland patches across participating properties, improving landscape connectivity, and repair of 1km of eroding creek banks by engaging neighbouring landholders through Harnham Landcare group.
