The Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research, working in conjunction with the Harden Murrumburrah Landcare Group (HMLG), agreed to provide botanical guidance for revegetating portions of Harden Shire with native vegetation.

Previous species lists provided to the HMLG for planting were regarded as inappropriate. The Centre’s focus was to make available information on plants native to the region and to provide a recommended list of species, annotated with ecological requirements and cultivation notes, to assist with revegetation programs in the Harden Shire.

In part, the project aimed to reconstruct a view of the floristic composition of the original native vegetation.

Across the Fenceline is a joint project between CSRIO Land and Water, the Harden Murrumburrah Landcare Group and the Grains Research & Development Corporation, that aims to address the problem of managing dryland salinity through a combination of monitoring and community education.

In southern NSW, winter/spring rainfall that is not used for evapotranspiration by current land management practices or lost across the landscape as runoff drains through the soil profile. This deep drainage through subsurface layers collects salt and contributes to dryland salinity, river and water quality decline.
