Due to extensive native vegetation clearance of the River Murray Riparian Zone in South Australia there are only small pockets of remnant vegetation that now exist.  These small remnant patches are very valuable and need to be enhanced and preserved. 

A LAP program that has been operating for several years now is the Revegetation Incentive Scheme. 

This scheme aims to provide both financial incentives and technical expertise to landholders wishing to preserve such remnant patches of vegetation.  Through revegetation with native species this project seeks to address issues including extensive loss of biodiversity, increased salinity, perched water tables, seepage, drainage water issues and soil erosion.

Revegetation or fencing projects for this year may be in the form of:

Protecting and enhancing native remnant vegetation,

Revegetating blocks using local native species,

Planting corridors to protect and link Natural/remnant vegetation,

Planting woodlots and windbreaks for drainage reduction, and

Erosion management

 Due to changes in funding revegetation scheme has been suspended

Some native species are grown at the Renmark Hostel an are availible to community members.

Please ring to see if plants are availible?
