Fencing stock out of waterways and revegetating the foreshore area is not just important for the environment, it is an opportunity to increase farm productivity. By fencing and revegetating your waterways, you can keep nutrients on the farm, improve stock health, and manage grazing more efficiently. Western Australians value our natural environment and care about our waterways. When farmers fence and revegetate waterways, they are taking action to restore and protect their land and the environment for future generations.
Since 2010, more than 290 farmers across south-west Western Australia (WA) have been participating in projects to keep stock out of waterways and drains. To date, more than 450 km of fencing has been installed as part of the State 黑料正能量鈥檚 Healthy Estuaries WA program and related programs.
