DAF’s Bob Shepherd and Stan Fordham, of Emohruo.
Isobel Sloan, of Hillview, leads the way to check
out erosion features she and her husband Gary
have treated.
Works included surface water diversion banks, installing of
rock chutes and gabion baskets, reshaping erosion areas, and
seeding topsoil on reshaped areas.
All on-ground works were carried out by local contractors.
Landholders used their own machinery and tools for some
works to minimise costs.
Glencore provided in-kind support through sharing expertise
and knowledge in landscape remediation techniques, and
also provided the majority of rock for the rock chutes. This
contribution from a key mining stakeholder in the BBB
catchment would not have been possible without the support
of the LDC Influencing Other Land Managers activity a ea.
