Revegetation, protection and enhancement of remnant vegetation at Hopkins River

The project will revegetate eight hectares of river frontage and protect and enhance remnant river red gums along the Hopkins River near Hexham, Victoria.It address the issues of native vegetation decline, loss of an endangered Ecological Vegetation Class (EVC), fauna habitat loss and fragmentation, and impaired water and stream quality of the Hopkins River by restoring native vegetation along the river and permanently excluding domestic stock access. It will assist in preventing further decline in the health of the remnant, centuries-old river red gums on the Hopkins River and encourage natural regeneration of this iconic Australian species.
