Murray River Girramay Country Waterway, Cultural and Habitat Restoration Stage 1

This project will replant riparian vegetation to replace lost habitat and improve riverbank stabilisation along the Murray River, North Queensland. The sodic soil is highly erodible and replacing native vegetation provides erosion control and improved water quality through sediment load reduction, particularly during flooding events. Traditional Owners from the local community will be encouraged to join the Green Army and work directly on country with their elders to transfer cultural knowledge. This project will protect and conserve ecological communities of threatened habitat by endemic plantings and building capacity of Traditional Owners and other stakeholders to support ongoing ecological activities in the area.
