Scottville Mob
The ‘Scottville Mob’ has proven that working together can
result in great outcomes. The members of the cluster group
developed an action plan to remediate erosion features on
their properties, pooled resources, and, as a result, all on-
ground work has been completed.
The Scottville cluster group is made up of landholders from
six properties.
The focus of this group was to:
• remediate small scale gullies and other severe property
erosion features to reduce soil erosion;
Hillview gabion basket installation.

• improve access to land management technical support,
extension, education, knowledge and on-ground
learning opportunities for small landholders and
communities within the Scottville-Collinsville area; and
• support landholders and the wider community to
validate solutions for smaller scale erosion features.
DAF principal extension officer (grazing land management)
Bob Shepherd provided expertise to help the cluster group
develop cost-effective designs to remediate gullies and other
property erosion features to reduce soil erosion.
