About
The Better Burnett Catchment Recovery Pilot is a 14 month program supporting land managers undertake onground works that will improve landscape, lifestyles, and livelihoods.
Activities supported will fall in three main areas; Better Beef - providing assistance to implement sustainable grazing land management, Better Bush - managing our best assets and greatest threats, and Better Water - taking care of our water ways for a healthy river system.
The Better Beef program will focus activity on the Cardarga Creek, Baywulla Creek, and Auburn River sub-catchments in Phase 1, providing graziers with incentives to better use of grass and water for productivity and catchment health.
Better Bush will support sustainable forestry, demonstrate better weed management, and take care of endangered, vulnerable and rare species.
Better Water will assist land managers in taking care of the water ways and reducing aquatic weeds.
