Yesterday was an exciting day for Landcare in the Murray and Murrumbidgee with the Launch of the second edition of the Riverina and South West Slopes Revegetation Guides and a new interactive website.
These guides have been a valuable tool for land restoration in our region for over 25 years. The updated versions bring together the collective experience of the best and most experienced practitioners from the Murray, Murrumbidgee and Riverina regions to modernise the guides to become a resource capable of directing revegetation practices for a future of carbon and environmental markets, global sustainability reporting and a changing climate.
