Regenerating saline land: a new approach to an old problem

Timeframe: March 2021 - October 2023

Funding Source: State NRM

Project Coordinators: Carrie Taylor

SUMMARY

The objective of this project is to address a resurgence of dryland salinity in the Jerramungup Shire using updated data and adopting a regenerative agriculture model.

In the first year of the project the emphasis will be on working closely with DPIRD and farmers to identify the current extent of salinity and collate up-to-date data and management tools. Priority areas for regeneration will be identified. At the end of year 1, and in years 2 and 3, the focus will switch to on-ground works (biodiversity revegetation and fencing) with a particular focus on practices that improve soil health.
