17.01.2022 We have partnered with SunRice, the Commonwealth Environmental Water Office and the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment to deliver water to this be...autiful Black Box Wetland on the Billabong Creek system, West of Jerilderie. Middle Wetland had infrastructure installed to allow water to inundate a larger area of the wetland, and 2020 was the first year it was trialed. Nearly 200 hectares has been inundated, with some great early responses. Over 19 different species of waterbirds have been recorded foraging in the wetland, and the Nitre Goosefoot and Tangled Lignum understorey are lapping up having wet feet for the first time in a very long time! Thanks to all our partners who help make watering wetlands possible!
