The rivers of the Swan Coastal Plain, on which the City of Perth is located, are very different from those that existed about 200 years ago. In their original state they were sandy bedded, heavily vegetated and loaded with woody debris. Today, much of the native riparian vegetation that once grew along them has been cleared, along with most of the rest of the native vegetation of the coastal plain.
This document provides information on the project to:
- develop techniques for the replacement and placement of large woody debris in sandy river channels
- to monitor the ecological response to the replacement of large woody debris in sandy river channels.
