On-ground works
The On-ground works program assists landholders to implement significant land management and land care projects upon their properties.
Works undertaken by landholders include protection and enhancement of remnant vegetation, revegetation using local native plant species to enhance regional biodiversity, improve agricultural sustainability and productivity, and to manage dryland salinity, establishment of perennial pastures and fodder shrubs to manage salinity and waterlogging. Activities such as excluding stock from Lake Alexandrina and asrivers and streams to protect riparian and aquatic habitats and improve water quality, and improving agricultural production techniques to minimise the impacts of agriculture upon the wider environment and improve agricultural sustainability and production are also undertaken by landholders.
