Revegetation of Katherine floodplain landscape corridors

The Katherine River Flood Plain has been degraded over many years due to human impacts weed infestations, land clearing and poor land management techniques.The proposed project includes the restoration and reconnection of the fragmented eco-systems between the river corridor, the unique habitat of karst sink holes, the floodplains and the savannah woodland. The replanting of the corridors, along with storm water harvesting will create new connections between each of these locations which will support animal, plant and birdlife to move freely along new corridors. This will enhance and support the bio-diversity of the area, create a substantial carbon store and build in resilience to climate change and the impacts of change.
