Bamarang Restoration, NSW

The Bamarang restoration work covers a number of properties at Bamarang and Longreach. This section of the river is mainly fresh water and has suffered bank erosion of previous poor farming practices and, more recently, active water suports. A number of new techniques have also been trialed at these locations including the growing of Gray River mangroves, which usually grow in saline water.
