Southern Brook - Restoration and Protection of Priority Waterways

This project will address the decline in the health of major creeklines in the Southern Brook Catchment area. Removal of the priority weed Juncus acutus will be undertaken followed by seed collection and replanting of local vegetation of full strata (using seed and seedlings) over 60 ha. Erection of 8 kms of fencing by farmers will protect native vegetation and
creeklines, along with control of rabbits. The project will result in a healthier functioning
ecosystem with reduced silt and nutrient flow into WA's major river - the Swan-Avon river - and landholders will be responsible for the ongoing maintenance of all aspects.
