Achievement Plans

Fence off and revegetate 5 farm dam areas, and provide alternative stock water access where required. Plus fence native vegetation from livestock adjacent to a creek that flows into a wetland, and Lower Pittwater.

Methods

Combination of contract fencer, paid labour and volunteers.

Natural Values

This project would help protect wildlife, especially waterbirds, and restore waterways. Currently, there is zero protection, erosion from livestock, and seasonal water loss which could be reduced.

Outcomes

By fencing off, protecting 5 farm dams and planting with natives we aim to provide more habitat and shelter for nesting waterbirds and other species. Also remove any remnant boxthorn nearby.

Amount

$10k - $20k
