The Edmonds have revegetated 15% of 'Ponds Creek; and intend to increase this to 20-25% as part of their farm re-development plan. They have established 34 revegetation sites, planted more than 20 000 seedlings and direct seeded 50 km of trees and shrubs. This testimonial describes how they restore biodiversity, repair gully erosion, drought-proof their property, subdivide their country for better grazing management, ensure there is adequate shelter and water in each new paddock, and achieve market premiums for their livestock. | Publication Type: | Report | Publisher: | Land & Water Australia (LWA) | Place of Publication: | Canberra, Australia | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070106 Farm Management, Rural Management and Agribusiness | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 960504 Ecosystem Assessment and Management of Farmland, Arable Cropland and Permanent Cropland Environments | HERDC Category Description: | R1 Report | Publisher/associated links: | http://lwa.gov.au/files/products/land-water-and-wool/pb061359/pb061359.pdf http://lwa.gov.au/products/pb061359 |
