Mulloon Rehydration Initiative update

Mulloon Rehydration Initiative Project Coordinator Pete Hazell has been successful in securing logs and rocks for the next stage of on-ground works in the Mulloon Rehydration Initiative. Another four leaky weir structures will be installed along Mulloon Creek at the Duralla property during July with logs from Tumbarumba and rocks from Nerriga.

People have been asking what we species we use when planting out a site. We usually focus on planting and transplanting shrubs, groundcovers and early colonising native plants that are either already growing, or would normally grow, within and on the banks of Mulloon Creek.

These include native species such as Cumbungi, Phragmites, Carex, Milfoil, Marshwort, Eleocharis, Schoenoplectus, Lomandra, Juncus, tea trees, paper barks, grevilleas, bottlebrush, Banksia, Bursaria, Green, Black and Silver wattle, as well as black sally.

We are also compiling a list of non-native plants that we would use depending on the situation.

The Mulloon Rehydration Initiative is jointly funded through the Mulloon Institute and the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program and is supported by various affiliates.
