Our own Freya Spencer (above, left), an ABC Trailblazers winner for her involvement in the NSPNR Waterways Restoration project, was recently interviewed on South West and Great Southern Weekend Breakfast by ABC journalist Jacquie Lynch who wanted to know what it takes to take on a project of this scale. Freya explained that land clearing and grazing of riparian zones have led to sedimentation, nutrient overload and salinity that have degraded the Pallinup River. To protect the river, this project is focusing on tree planting, fencing to exclude stock, river monitoring and engaging cultural education. Freya said that it is a slow process, however NSPNR is making small changes; it is important and will make a big difference in the long term.
