Connecting Riverine Communities in the Namoi

Connecting Riverine Communities in the Namoi is a collaborative project between NSW DPI and Namoi CMA that will address the loss and degradation of riparian and aquatic habitat along a 150km (600Ha) priority reach of the Namoi River. The project will strengthen partnerships with local landholders and community groups to plant native riparian and aquatic vegetation, protect remnant native vegetation through stock management, and control invasive weeds. These activities will enhance the resilience of the local ecosystem, helping to improve the connectivity, abundance and distribution of native flora and fauna in the Namoi, whilst sequestering 120,000 – 312,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents per year.
