Grazier support aims to develop cost-effective approaches to large-scale gully erosion
GULLY erosion causes approximately 65 per cent of the fine sediment load that comes from the BBB.
The Landscape Remediation program, as part of the Landholders Driving Change project, aims to develop fast, effective and economical approaches to gully remediation.
The grazier support program builds on existing expertise and lessons learned from previous trials, and also draw upon the knowledge of graziers and technical specialists.
Demonstration sites have been established to showcase different methods of treating large-scale features, according to the type of erosion and soil in each.
This will help to guide future investment in landscape remediation, and determine which methods may be transferable to other areas.
The program will also work with BBB landholders to treat smaller-scale erosion features over extended areas, and will also closely align with the BBB Grazier Support program by working with landholders on preventing erosion.
