A not-for-profit organisation has recently completed the second phase of a project in Central Queensland, to harvest native grass seeds to use in mine land rehabilitation projects across the state.
National not-for-profit Bush Heritage Australia recently wrapped up the second phase of an innovative Queensland Bluegrass (Dichanthium sericeum) grass seed harvesting project on Carnarvon Station Reserve, Bidjara country in the Queensland Brigalow Belt region.
Bluegrass species typically grow best on fertile clay soils that are suited for grazing and cropping and as a result, its extent and condition has declined dramatically since the introduction of large-scale agricultural practices.
