A variety of willow species dominate the riparian zone of Uralla Creek. They cause narrowing of the channel, divert floods into the bank, dump a large loads of leaves in the water in autumn (resulting in low dissolved oxygen levels) and displace native plants. The creek is home to platypus and native water rats which are affected by low DO. This project involved the removal of willows from 500m of the creek and replaced them with native riparian species. This project continued the work of a previous project which cleared the upper 2 km of this catchment.
