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..
