Photo:OEH/JFisher_Timber supplied by Pacific Highway upgrade contractors and Forestry Corporation of NSW to help improve one of the Clarence River’s most important wetland habitats. 65 timber stumps were supplied by OHL-York JV and Civil, Mining & Construction, the Roads and Maritime Services highway contractors to improve habitat in the Everlasting Swamp National Park, near Lawrence. Hardwood timber root-balls sourced from highway vegetation clearing were reused in the Woody and Reedy Creeks as fish, bird and creek bank habitat. Re-snagging creek lines with timber and restoring creek bank habitat will improve local fishing.
