Introduction of Different Plants with Grazing Potential for the Reinforcement of Veld in the Darling Area

START:
 2002
END:
 2006
STATUS:
 Underway
DESCRIPTION:

The aim is to try and re-establish the natural veld in this area. The project locality used to be cultivated, but due to the sandy soil and low rainfall, naturally adapted veld species should be more economically sustainable in the long run.
