Regional Land Partnerships - Environment is funded from the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program with the goal to help land managers better manage their Brigalow scrub while at the same time improving and promoting these Threatened Ecological Communities (TEC). 

Many land managers battle with weed infestations in their Brigalow country and this project aims to provide funding and knowledge resources to help minimise damage and eradicate weeds like harrisia cactus, mother of millions, tree pear and boxthorn to name but a few.

Mustering livestock in Brigalow can also be problematic for land managers and this project aims to provide funding and resources so livestock access to these scrub areas can be better managed.

Common threats to Brigalow scrub include:

• Clearing and overgrazing
• Fire
• Weeds and feral pests

Main threat reduction strategies include:

• Control/eradication measures for weeds and feral pests
• Fencing to manage livestock access & promote regrowth of Brigalow to link patches of native scrub
• Measures to reduce excess fuel loads and uncontrolled fire outbreaks.
• Installation of watering points to reduce dwell time of livestock in your Brigalow
