Habitat management

Recommendations for managing wetlands on farms in inland New South Wales

Wetlands on Farms is a program to assist landholders integrate their wetland/s into their farming management.

The two key messages on which this document is based are:

1. Healthy wetlands are associated with healthy catchments.
Wetlands do not stand alone: they are part of a river catchment and their health reflects the many interactions between land use, water and people that occur across the entire landscape.
2. You can manage your wetland sustainably.
An understanding of how, and when, water arrives and leaves the wetland, and how the movement of water is affected by climate and agricultural activities, is the basis for sustainable management.

These recommendations are necessarily a simplification of a complex matter as no two wetlands are the same. This document brings together information common to all wetlands.
