River Health
Waterways are of great significance in the Mansfield shire. The benefits of native overstory and under story are well documented. The positive effects of native vegetation includes abating erosion, creating habitat for wildlife, increasing biodiversity, improving sediment control, lowering water temperatures, reducing evaporation and enhancing the landscapes natural beauty. Native vegetation helps to ensure our rivers and streams can be enjoyed for generations to come.
