SummaryThis project was undertaken on a banana farm adjacent to the South Johnstone River. This project was undertaken to promote the uptake of improved wetland management in agriculture production systems by showcasing examples of successful agricultural land management leading to good wetland outcomes. A range of activities were undertaken including wetland restoration; re-vegetation with reeds and sedges; weed control of guinea grass, para grass, hymenachne and aleman grass; development of a treatment area to capture surface run-off from the farmland upstream (banana and papaw) and groundwater that seeps out from the high bank.
