Summary
A Whittington interceptor bank project is underway at the 200 hectare Gingin property of Ian Collard. The World Wildlife Fund project Balancing Agricultural Production and Conservation in Wetlands provided the funding for the 600 metre long bank that was built in May. WISALTS senior consultant, Gavin Drew surveyed the property, after which an additional arm was added at the annual WISALTS field day to highlight the benefits of building interceptor banks. A trench was dug using a backhoe and several people at the field day helped to clear remaining dirt and held the plastic sheeting while a loader gently backfilled the trench.
This article contains an image of a group of field day attendees helping to lay plastic sheeting.
