The NQ Dry Tropics Healing Country Team are offering their services to landholders in the Burdekin River region for small scale non-mechanical erosion works.
The project, funded through the Queensland Government’s Reef Assist program under the Queensland Reef Water Quality Program, enables young First Nations people to connect with Country while helping to improve land conditions and reduce sediment run-off in areas where the soils are too fragile for machines to be used.
Hells Gate grazier, Owen Howard said “What’s being achieved…is to fast-track work on badly scalded and eroded sites. Every bit helps, and I do appreciate everyone’s involvement in helping us achieve good outcomes for production and for the environment.”
