Enhancing the value of existing linkages through species diversity and fencing

The wetlands within this fragmented agricultural landscape provide important seasonal and spatial links between the ephemeral Angas and Bremer River systems and permanent RAMSAR listed Lake Alexandrina. Around 10 years ago landholders along the watercourses revegetated large areas of their own properties which, along with the remnant vegetation, reestablished many of the linkages. They would now like to enhance the species diversity of these areas to increase their value as critical habitat for threatened flora and fauna. Weed control programs and fencing the areas from stock where necessary will ensure the effectiveness of the corridors. The committee will advise and assist the landholders to undertake these tasks.
