Second planning walk for the Mary River Koala Corridor

On Sunday March 11, we were lucky enough to have both Greg Smyrell, landscape ecologist, and Peter McAdam, stream geomorphologist and Healthy Habitats Officer from the Mary River Catchment Coordination Committee (MRCCC) give advice on the Mary River Koala Corridor project.

Greg walked through all three properties to produce a detailed plant list for the riparian zone. Based on this we will develop recommended planting lists that reflect the current species.

Peter also visited all three properties, giving advice about overall land management and participation in the Land for Wildlife program. All three properties are now participants in Land for Wildlife.

We were also treated to a presentation by Peter about stream geomorphology. What we learned in this session will help us understand the likely future behaviour of this section of river. This is the subject of it's own post, that is available here. This post includes a video of Peter's presentation.
