Steps to Successfully Revegetate Your Creekline
Replanting the banks of a creekline has many advantages for the health of the stream and the river or estuary it runs into. With proper planning, revegetation can not only protect water quality, but can reduce erosion, improve biodiversity & habitat for native flora & fauna, and provide shade and shelter for stock.
Want to access some or all of those benefits for your property? If your answer is yes then make some time to come to our next Talkin’ After Hours event – Steps to Successfully Revegetate Your Creekline. Presented by Revegetation Practitioner Jarrad Sherborne from Tranen Revegetation Systems, this workshop aims to provide landholders with tips and tricks on how to successfully revegetate their farm waterways. By the end of this workshop participants will understand:
- what the key steps are for a successful revegetation program
- what factors to take into account when selecting a site(s)
- how to make the right species selection for their chosen site(s)
- how to prepare a site for planting success
- the best method for planting their selected species
- what is required to maintain the health of plants while they establish & beyond.
At the end of the presentation we will take a trip out to a local Karridale property revegetation site to see the theory in practice.
