Down and Dirty in Araluen: Saturday's Practical Erosion Workshop
19 Aug, 2023
The USLC Soil Erosion Workshop - the second in a series of workshops for the Araluen Creek Restoration Project - was held on 28 May 2022. Around 15 people gathered on the day to hear Andy Taylor from Local Land Services share practical advice on controlling small-scale erosion with simple techniques. The group ‘walked the talk’ and installed some basic structures on a patch of seriously degraded land that was previously mined for gold. The ingredients for the day included coir logs, jute mesh, mulch, local rocks and branches, mixed with some elbow grease and Andy’s extensive experience to fit them together to make water work for you.
