Renovating Australian Waterways, continued

Esk - Corra Linn Landcare Project - Tasmania

The Esk - Corra Linn Landcare Group project encompasses a stretch of the North Esk river which supports a diverse range of primary production and recreational activities, and is an important factor in the flood mitigation strategy for the City of Launceston.

The project aims to improve stream flow by removing willows that have fallen into the river. These willows will be chipped and composted along with other organic matter, and then used as mulch in local vineyards.

Leschenault Community Nursery - Western Australia

Located at Bunbury, the Leschenault Community Nursery is an innovative community-managed nursery, which encourages local plantings and supports local Landcare groups. The Community Nursery has strong links to the renovation of local waterways by providing plants for revegetation projects.

The 2000-2001 nursery season resulted in the production of 128,000 seedlings for revegetation projects in the Leschenault and Geographe Bay Catchments. Plants have been supplied to farmers, local governments and schools for revegetation projects.

The Leschenault Community Nursery has produced the seedlings with the enthusiastic involvement of over 70 volunteers. The Nursery also undertakes it's own seed collecting and runs training programs in seed picking for volunteers.
