Abstract: What is new to our management is active landscape restoration, which we have commenced by participating in the Ecosystem Management Understanding (EMU) ProjectTM through the Neales River Catchment Pilot Project. While we are committed to progressing with restoration activities, we see these as being inextricably linked and inter-dependent with our feral animal control, grazing management and other aspects of our whole business. Indeed this vigilant management enhances the likelihood of restoration activities succeeding. In this article I offer my personal perspective as a pastoralist.
