Bago State Forest, NSW

Paling yards in the Bago State Forest

During March, Mulloon Consulting’s Cam Wilson and Bill McAlister inspected peat bogs in the Bago State Forest as part of a plan to upgrade tourism facilities through the Snowy Mountains Tourism Upgrade Program. 

The project, led by the Forestry Corporation of NSW is a first step in an exciting project aiming to restore the hydrology of sensitive montane peatlands and, through tourism, draw public attention to the value of wetland ecosystems, some of which have been subject to historical degradation. 

Mulloon Consulting has been engaged to investigate the potential for restoration of the peatlands in the Paddy’s River Dam catchment near Tumbarumba in south-eastern NSW and to provide recommendations for potential peatland restoration projects, including a preliminary design to rehydrate a peatland at Paling Yards.
