Good news for River Leven anglers
Greening Australia have recently completed work as part of a project to progressively remove willows from the River Leven catchment.
A significant infestation has been removed from up and downstream of Marshalls Bridge at Gunns Plains. The work has coincided with some extensions to the Anglers Access areas at this location. The willow removal and subsequent replanting with native vegetation will improve the river from both an environmental and recreational point of view and has opened up some previously inaccessible water to anglers.
IFS would like to thank and congratulate Greening Australia, Cradle Coast NRM and Caterpillar for their generous support of this project.
The recent work underpins ongoing improvement of anglers access on the River Leven.
