The Upper Torrens Land Management Project
Since our inception by the Upper River Torrens Landcare Group in partnership with The Barossa Council in 1998, over 250 landowners have participated to improve their properties and income. The UTLMP has assisted them to address issues such as: soil erosion, salinity and acidity, pasture establishment and/or improvement, fencing for dams and watercourses, re-vegetation with native trees and shrubs, protection of native flora and fauna, creation of habitat for birds and native animals, and the maintenance of creeks and watercourses. Properties have varied in size from 1 Ha to 1000 Ha, and issues addressed include stock exclusion fencing for watercourses, weed control, pest animal control, woody weed removal and re-vegetation with native species.
We can offer technical expertise and possible financial support for both property planning, and on-ground works, including pasture improvement, re-vegetation, fencing and farm forestry to all landholders in the Upper Torrens Catchment.
