Environment Willunga Hills Face --- Fencing and Revegetation of This project will construct stock proof fencing and revegetate $21,934.00 Landcare Group Creek Line Flowing into approximately 750m of creek line which flows from the Incorporated Aldinga Washpool Willunga escarpment into the Aldinga Washpool Lagoon, a wetland listed in the Directory of Important Wetlands in Australia. The project will result in increased connectivity of riparian vegetation, increased habitat for a threatened ecological community, reduced erosion and sediment loads entering a nationally significant wetland and improved water quality. The revegetation will provide vegetative protection for stock in extreme weather conditions and community awareness will be raised through community activities, such as local festivals. Agriculture Agriculture Timber Creek Kangaroo Island - Using This project will establish a farm-scale demonstration site to $21,458.80 Kangaroo Island Landcare Group Technology to Make Grazing show the benefits of detailed soil testing and satellite imagery, Incorporated Systems Sustainable when combined with variable rate technology, to enable the strategic application of lime and fertiliser. Landholders will learn how to gain the greatest benefits, such as reduced inputs, maintenance of production levels and reduced negative off-site impacts. 20 farmers will change fertiliser and lime application practices over 15,000 hectares to reduce the impacts of erosion, acidity, salinity and loss of water quality. This will help drive uptake and ensure the project benefits continue into the future.
