ABOUT THE PROJECT
Contracted by Rangelands WA, Dust Up Projects has been working with landholders to introduce new techniques including total grazing management - smaller grazing yards where livestock are rotated to promote the regeneration of grazing lands. These yards also help to reduce the number of feral animals in the Lyndon and Minilya basins.
“Today pastoralism is more than just using the land. It is about working with the land to promote sustainability through proper techniques and management. By creating total grazing management yards and protecting the Lyndon and Minilya basins we aim to fully restore the land, river and creek systems,” said former Mia Mia Station owner Mr John Forsyth.
This project is the second phase of the protection and conservation of the Lyndon / Minilya river basin.
THE CHALLENGE
“Landowners in this area saw the need to prevent soil erosion and preserve the landscape ecology. If we lose the grasses and shrubs in this area the land will become eroded and the costs of supplement feeding to livestock will increase."
"Through this project we would like to restore the native vegetation in the catchments,” said Dust Up Project Director Ms Alex Harper.
