From farm dam to wetland habitat
Mooloolah River Waterwatch and Landcare (MRWL) will run a workshop on how to transform your farm dam to wetland habitat at the MRWL Native Nursery in Glenview on Saturday, October 19. Workshop organiser Karen Schmidt said the workshop was developed due to a strong interest from MRWL members and local people on how farm dams can be enhanced to benefit our local flora and fauna. “Many landholders are keen to create or recreate their dam as a dual purpose feature on their property, a wetland oasis for native fauna, a productive source of fish and crustaceans, while still serving the traditional roles of stock watering, irrigation and bushfire protection,” Karen said. Farm dams can be tricky environments to rehabilitate as they usually have steep sides and hard clay soils. The workshop will provide tips and tricks to navigate these unique site characteristics including the creation of micro-habitats, adding variations to the dam edge gradient, stock access control options, revegetation tips and much more. The expert presenter, Phil Moran from Noosa and District Landcare, encourages attendees to bring along plant samples from their own dams for identification and advice on their use or removal. Natural wetlands are increasingly in short supply but farm dams are in abundance. With appropriate management, much needed wetland habitats for native wildlife can be provided while also improving water quality for stock and farm uses. An added bonus for attendees is that the
