More limits proposed on cattle grazing
5 Jun 2006
A draft grazing strategy for the 158,000 hectares of Riverine red gum forests from Mildura to Yarrawonga in Victoria recommends reducing or stopping grazing on public land along the Murray except where it could be environmentally beneficial. The report, prepared by the Department of Sustainability and Environment, concludes that stricter guidelines are needed to control grazing because it can "compromise forest values", as well as potentially damaging Aboriginal cultural sites, recreational sites, roads and timber regeneration.
