As part of the Grazing Resilience and Sustainable Solutions (GRASS) program funded by the Queensland government, the Fitzroy Basin Association (FBA) are working with graziers to improve poor and degraded land to limit soil loss and sediment run-off to waterways that flow to the Great Barrier Reef (GBR).
At Mt Elsa station, the landholders and FBA have developed and implemented a tailor-made Land Management Plan which maps out the actions to improve and maintain ground cover and protect the riverbank by installing fencing and creating waterpoints away from the river. While reducing soil loss and improving outcomes for the GBR, these actions also will increase production for Mt Elsa station.
