Revegetating the Todd River to Improve Habitat and Plant Diversity

The Todd River Revegetation project will revegetate a 4.8 kilometre strh of the Todd River in Alice Springs. Local native vegetation will be planted in stages: around the base of Annie Meyers Hill, along the iconic, dry banks of the Todd River, and through Heavitree Gap. The end-point is a rocky hill situated between a landfill and an Aboriginal town camp adjoining the Macdonnell Ranges. Revegetating these sites will improve the environmental, aesthetic, and social values of the Todd River by improving the diversity of species, reducing competition for understorey flora, and providing cooling and shading along the river.
