Goulburn Broken Land Health Strategy 2017 - 2020

The Goulburn Broken Land Health Strategy 2017 – 2020 follows on from the Goulburn Broken Dryland Landscape Strategy (2009-2011), the Draft Goulburn Broken Soil Health Strategy (2002) and Soil Health Action Plan (2006, updated 2012).

Producing high quality seed for Silver Banksia

Silver Banksia once covered large tracts of land across southern Australia but in many regions it now exists as small populations or isolated trees, making it difficult to source high quality seed to restore this important species. This fact sheet details recent work to look at the genetic diversity of Silver Banksia at the Euroa Seed Production Area at Euroa Arboretum.

Revegetation Guide for the Goulburn Broken Catchment

This guide has been developed to provide advice and assist landholders with revegetation activities.

Shelter Belts on Farms

Shelter belts on farm can be an important part of your farm if done correctly. They can serve many purposes and can be created in many shapes and sizes. The benefits of a shelter belt could be to reduce the effect of cold and hot winds and provide shade from the sun for your stock and/or create corridors for beneficial insects and birds that could help protect crops and pastures.
