Overall
• Landholder is very happy with how the revegetation has protected the bank
• Site needs a helping hand• Some Cats Claw, Chinese Elm,
balloon vine • Dense pasture grass as groundcover• Very little natural regeneration• Slumps are continuing upstream of
the project site
• Biodiversity Fund project to commence here this financial year
