Productive Grazing, Healthy Rivers

The Productive Grazing, Healthy Rivers project aims to improve riparian and in stream biodiversity in high rainfall, intensive grazing systems through better management practices for riparian zones and remnant vegetation. The objective is to provide landholders with the information and management tools required to integrate riparian and farm management for combined environmental and production outcomes. Project activities are based in the high rainfall bioregions of southern Victoria and focus on the intensive grazing (beef, dairy, prime lamb) industries. An extensive review of the relevant literature, current riparian management guidelines and practices and biodiversity databases occurred during the initial scoping year of the project. This, in combination with stake holder consultation in Gippsland and South-West Victoria lead to the development of the project research modules and extension activities. A project fact sheet can be downloaded for additional information. To view the information PDF requires the use of a PDF reader. This can be installed for free from the Adobe website (external link).
