This case study tells the story of how the 500km long Glenelg River in Victoria has been restored from the brink of ecological collapse.
For over 25 years Glenelg-Hopkins CMA has been working with a diverse range of partners to restore the Glenelg River. A landscape scale approach was adopted across the entire river basin, starting in the headwaters to halt erosion and the source of sediment in the upper catchments. The project has involved over 700 landholders in implementing key restoration activities such as waterway fencing and revegetation, off-stream watering and stock crossings and weed control.
