Habitat

The handful of acacias that were planted are still hanging in there but not thriving. One Blackwood (it was not planted but rather freed by willow removal) is now over 5m and the vegetative regrowth from this tree is producing some healthy suckers.

Weeds and pasture grasses are continuing to maintain bank stability.
