Fencing and revegetation
Fencing stock out of waterways and revegetating the foreshore area is important for the environment and is an opportunity to increase farm productivity. By fencing and revegetating your waterways, you can keep nutrients on the farm, improve stock health, and manage grazing more efficiently.
Together with catchment groups, community members and land holders, the Healthy Estuaries WA will fence 240 kilometres of priority waterways to exclude stock and plant 72 hectares of foreshore. Outreach and extension programs will enhance farmer knowledge and skills for managing land use around waterways.
