Local Land Services is urging property owners to be on the lookout for riverbank erosion after severe flooding across parts of New South Wales.
Louise Orr from Local Land Services Natural Resource Management says erosion damage on riverbanks, floodplains and gullies can be significant after these kinds of events.
“Erosion damage is often accelerated after severe flooding, particularly if there is limited vegetation in place to bind the soil together,” she said.
“Now that flood waters have receded, repairing and the ongoing management of riparian zones is crucial to the long-term recovery process.”
Weeds should also be managed to avoid smothering native vegetation, which can leave banks susceptible to future erosion.
Rajah, a North Carolina tiger whose rescue made national headlines, has died Julian Shen-Berro and Ashad Hajela, The News & Observer (Raleigh, N.C.)
Feb. 23 Rajah, one of the best-known tigers at a North Carolina sanctuary, has died 16 years after his rescue made national headlines.
In 2005, Rajah was found wandering on the side of a road outside Charlotte with a 6-month-old tiger cub by his side.
In the years since, Rajah became a favorite at Carolina Tiger Rescue in Chatham County. He was one of the most social tigers at the Pittsboro sanctuary and acted as a figurehead for the organization, said Louise Orr, spokesperson for the rescue group. (CTR was known as Carnivore Preservation Trust when Rajah was found.)
