This project area formed an integral part of the Salisbury Waters system linking with Dangar’s Lagoon upland wetland. The main environmental issues were the lack of connectivity between key remnant habitats and the loss of soil structure and bank stability through erosion of riparian areas caused by clearing for agriculture during the past 120 years. Replanting was conducted to re-connect isolated woodland patches across three properties and subsequently improve landscape connectivity for the complete project area.
Outcomes
- Three properties involved
- 4.45 km of fencing to exclude stock from riparian land
- More than 8000 seedlings replanted over 13.75 ha of riparian areas with site-specific native species
