An eroded gully off Yabba Road, Tallangatta South, has been fenced off and planted out with 4oo local indigenous species, on the property of Stuart and Sue Read.
The grant received included 471 metres of wildlife friendly fencing and the planting of native species which will help to stabilise the gully and prevent further erosion. The vegetation will also assist in filtering the runoff from Yabba Road and supports biodiversity
Species planted by the landholder include acacia melanoxylon (blackwood), bursaria spinosa, callistemon sieberi (river bottlebrush), Blakely Red Gum, rosemary grevillea, prickly tea tree, spiny headed mat rush, tree violet and poa labillardieri (common tussock)
Land care Facilitator, Simon Felliafe coordinated the plantings and delivered tube stock to the Read’s property in September 2023. Over 1.18 hectares of land has been fenced off and revegetated.
