Fuji Xerox Completes Greening Tarpaulin Creek Projects
Fuji Xerox Printers and Greening Australia have successfully completed the direct seeding of 5,500 native trees and shrubs along the headwaters of Tarpaulin Creek, a tributary of the Murrumbidgee River.
The creek, west of Canberra, runs directly below the Uriarra forestry settlement, which was severely impacted by the 18 January 2003 bushfires. After more than 150 years of clearing and unrestricted stock access — not to mention recent drought — the creek had been showing significant signs of ‘wear and tear’.
Greening Australia's prescribed seed mix — helping to heal erosion and encourage biodiversity on Tarpaulin Creek — comprises a diverse range of locally occurring native species, including Eucalypts, Acacias, understorey shrubs, forbs and grasses.
The direct seeding while important in its own right has the added benefit of connecting to other parts of Tarpaulin Creek recently planted by community volunteers (including staff from the Department of Environment and Heritage).
