Restoring fitness and connectivity in aquatic and riparian zones in the Snowy Mountains

The project will remove environmental weeds and reinstate native endemic riparian species to filter and cleanse the aquatic systems at Tumut Wetlands, McFarlane’s Creek and Pioneer Park. Tumut River is an aquatic ecological community in the natural drainage system of the lower Murray River catchment. The project will conserve and, where possible, restore habitats by protecting aquatic and riparian vegetation and encouraging the use of effective siltation control measures.

本项目将清除外来入侵杂草，恢复本土特有河岸物种，以对图马特湿地（Tumut Wetlands）、麦克法兰溪（McFarlane’s Creek）及先锋公园（Pioneer Park）内的水生系统进行过滤净化。图马特河（Tumut River）是下墨累河集水区自然排水系统中的水生生态群落。本项目将通过保护水生与河岸植被，并推广有效的泥沙淤积防控措施，实现栖息地的保护，并在可行范围内予以修复。
