For over a century, millions of hectares of woodland and trees have been cleared from South East Queensland’s agricultural landscape to make way for cropping and grazing livestock.
In an effort to promote environmental and economic sustainability, Healthy Land and Water strive to support the region’s landcare community through our Regional Landcare Facilitator initiative and Grazing Best Management Program.
Through the combination of our project and skill-based training 64% of riverbanks have been revegetated in western catchments. Riverbank restoration of 10km of Laidley Creek farmland is protecting important agricultural land while also guarding the water supply of Ipswich and Brisbane.
