Upper Sandy Creek Water Course Biodiverse Plantings and Revegetation Project

The Upper Sandy Creek Water Course is a natural water course forming part of the Broughton River catchment system in the Mid North of SA. Over a long period of time remaining natural vegetation and the water course itself has been degraded through lack of regeneration, damage caused by stock, weeds and pests, and changes to the natural water flow through conventional tillage farming practices. The project aims to address the degradation and restore sections of the water way to a natural bio-diverse state, through plantings of local mixed species. In order to promote re vegetation and protect new plantings the area would be fenced to exclude grazing by livestock such as sheep.
