Water note 10 - Protecting riparian vegetation

Guidance
Information about the types of disturbances and how to protect riparian vegetation.
Last updated:

In a healthy ecosystem there is a natural balance of disturbance and regeneration. Unfortunately, past land management practices have disrupted this natural balance by increasing disturbance and as a result the health of riparian vegetation has declined in many areas. Restoring the natural balance requires the reduction of disturbance.
