The Wedderburn CMN’s 3 year Caring for Our Country funding for Box Gum Grassy Woodland protection is still available to any landholder within the WCMN’s focus area. Over the past two years about a dozen landholders, both private and public, have taken the opportunity to protect, enhance and link Box Gum Grassy Woodlands and Buloke Woodlands. Works have included fencing, revegetation, weed control and rabbit control.
Much of this land was farming land, but after the floods at the beginning of this year, many of the landholders decided that these areas were better off being put to protection and enhancement of the remnant native vegetation, as it was too wet or difficult to work.
If you have Yellow Box, White Box, Blakely’s Red Gum, Bulokes or Grey Box on your property and would like to see it protected, enhanced or linked to other patches of remnant vegetation, please contact Michael or Wendy via the details at the end of this newsletter.
