Erosion programme benefits Goulburn region

A Local Land Services programme is enabling the control of erosion on Goulburn District farmland.

 

The latest South East Local Land Services circular describes the success which farmer, Mark Hart has had on a 180 hectare property at Gurrundah.

 

Through the LLS Rural Landscapes Programme, the grazier says he has been able to significantly reduce the loss of soil and sediment from the property.

 

The Landscapes initiative is a joint effort between South East Land Services and Water NSW.

 

It provides funding assistance for fencing creeks and waterways, erosion control, planting native species and installing alternate water systems.
