There are several programs being rolling out in the Bega Valley that can support landholders wanting to improve, protect, and enhance riparian zones and native vegetation on their properties.
There are three main priority activities that had been advised will receive priority for funding.
The first involves the installation of fencing to exclude stock from waterways and saltmarshes.
The second is the revegetation of riparian zones to improve bank stability, reduce run-off and improve habitat for native wildlife.
The third is to protect, enhance and improve of remnant native vegetation and wildlife corridors for threatened species such as glossy black cockatoo, threated large forest owls, koalas and Australian grayling.
