| 28-04-2024 | <p>At the testing site vegetation has been protected from wallabies and kangaroos by cyclone mesh fencing for > 18 months now and banks look vastly better than before this was implemented.</p> <p>The fenced area is narrow in this section - fencing being an estimated 5m from the centre of the stream. Northern side has revegetation 10- 15m width</p> <p>Previously riparian plantings were protected by 450mm high guards and animals had access to creek.</p> | Fair 3 | Good 8 | Good 8 | Fair 3 | Fair 6 | 28 |
