Barongarook Pork

Collaborating with the local Landcare group, the Corangamite CMA supported the farmer to improve water-quality and efficiency by installing a water filtration process using strategically placed native vegetation, sand, and rocks.  The project also increased vegetation around the dam and upgraded troughs and underground piping to reduce wastage. Additionally, Boundary Creek the high-value waterway which runs along the property was revegetated and fenced off to protect it from stock and nutrient runoff.  This project is just one example of many where the community and property owners are front and centre of the environmental improvement process.
