Wetland Re-establishment and Habitat Enhancement at Strangers Paddock

This project will undertake ecological restoration of a section of the Upper Murrumbidgee Reserve that is currently grazed but has dispersed vegetation and highly erodible soils. The project will connect and add diversity to existing isolated vegetation patches in Strangers Paddock and establish a species rich wetland around an existing dam and its immediate catchment with the aid of fencing, weed control and revegetation. Sediment loads from Stanger’s Paddock into the Murrumbidgee River will be reduced through these activities. The project will work closely with, and support, the ParkCarers of Southern Murrumbidgee and the ACT Government to supplement works that are improving biodiversity within the reserve.
