Perennial Grass Seed and Paddock Trees
Camps: Corryong, Walwa and Jingellic
BlazeAid is providing more than the usual Fencing help, with two new programs rolling out in the Upper Murray area. Fire affected farmers may be eligible for perennial grass seed to re-establish pastures in those paddocks burnt in the 2019/20 fires. Many deserving farmers have received funding in the first round of approvals. If you wish to be included in the Spring/Autumn GRAFFI pasture program, please contact the Camps initially to register interest.
The latest BlazeAid initiative is the Trillions of Paddock Trees PAFI program being trialled from the Walwa camp over September.
Paddock trees are a dying race - we have squillions along the roadsides unmanaged for fire fuel, but the paddocks are often bare, with no shelter for stock or refuge for our native birds and animals against cats and foxes!
Any property owner wanting to be part of this exciting new trial please contact the Walwa-Jingellic Camp coordinator.
