Where are they now? Revisiting tree decline in north east Victoria

Where are they now? Revisiting tree decline in North East Victoria

Loss of paddock trees is a key impact of drought and has significant flow-on impacts for on-farm biodiversity, shade and shelter.

This week, ANU’s Sustainable Farms team is back in the field across the Byawatha and Springhurst regions of north east Victoria, revisiting sites first studied more than 20 years ago. Ecologists Angelina Siegrist and Erin Liddell, pictured alongside Lachlan Campbell, Sustainable Agriculture Facilitator with North East CMA, are assessing the current health and condition of paddock trees, as part of the Ovens Murray Drought Resilience Plan project ‘Where are they now? Revisiting tree decline in north-east Victoria’. Link to https://www.necma.vic.gov.au/.../Ovens-Murray-Drought..

This Wooragee property has been quietly doing something remarkable for over 30 years — and the landowner is throwing open the gates to share what they've learned.

You'll also get to spend quality time with ANU Sustainable Farms ecologists who've spent years researching exactly what farm dams can do for biodiversity, water quality and water security across south-east Australia. This isn't a PowerPoint in a hall — it's boots on the ground, real results, real country.
