Morleys Creek Enhancement Project
The $100,000 grant will allow work along Morley's Creek, beginning at Otway St and continue along the river bank to the boat ramp.
Assistance to identify, order and plant native species will be supplied by the local Gundagai Bushcare Group, Gundagai Regional Enhancement Group (GREG) and Gundagai Anglers Club. The Gundagai Golf Club will also be involved in the project as works border the golf course. The Project will link with other previous programs conducted by GREG, Gundagai Bushcare Group and the Anglers Club.
The project aims to:
- Remove willow and other exotic species from the riparian zone of Morley's Creek and Jones Creeks.
- Re-establish and restore native vegetation
- Remove existing unnatural in-stream blockages to restore flow and fish passage.
- Conduct an awareness raising program on urban weeds
- Overall improve water quality.
An educational program on control of environment weeds will be conducted as part of the project. These are weeds that may re-invest the site, many of which escape from urban gardens through birds, wind and stormwater.
Articles will be published and can be downloaded from below, to assist urban gardeners make good plant choices.
