Reverse the Dirt – Erosion Management Project

ErosionThe Gecko Clan Landcare Network is partnering with Agriculture Victoria to support landholders to manage soil erosion.

This project assists landholders to solve different types of erosion problems through applying the latest technology and best expertise available. The project delivers on-ground works and demonstration field days to share knowledge. Keep an eye on upcoming events for bus tours around local erosion remediation sites.

Our expert erosion team, Brad Costin, Kerry Goshnick and Kerri Robson are continuing to visit sites and are confronting some major erosion challenges.

If you have erosion on your property and would like assistance or advice, contact Kerri Robson on 0418 140 710

 

Below is a video demonstrating the implementation of erosion control works in Broadford, Victoria.

The project has highlighted that it is not only steep hill landscapes that are at risk of erosion, but that erosion is present in many different types of landscapes including the flatter northern areas. The team is also fixing old failed erosion works and collecting a great amount of knowledge from this.

Brad Costin has developed the following worksheet to assist landholders assess erosion on their properites.  The worksheet can be downloaded from here: Landholder Erosion assessment gullies – Worksheet
