Episode 7: Jen McKenzie On Erosion in the Herbert and Johnstone Rivers - a podcast by Greg Vinall, Wet Tropics Healthy Waterways Partnership

Jen Mackenzie is affectionately referred to around the wet tropics as "Dirt Girl" or "Gully Jen" for her passion and successes in sediment and erosion management. Jen is the Sediment Reduction Program Leader with Terrain NRM.

Jen talks us through the existing Herbert River Sediment Reduction Program and the New Upper Johnston Sediment Reduction Program.

These programs involve whole of property plans on grazing properties to simultaneously enhance the health and productivity of pastures and reduce the potential for sediment transport through sheet erosion. Remedial engineering works are also undertaken at priority sites to remedy gully and streambank erosion.
