About this document
“…it is possible to protect both waterways and the environment and still operate a profitable sustainable dairy business.”
Native plants are blooming again on a once-windswept dairy farm in South Gippsland.
More than 30 years ago Rae and Bruce Knee bought a 277 hectare dairy, ‘Kewita’, on cleared land near Toora, on the southern slopes of the Strezlecki Ranges, with a five kilometer frontage to the Franklin River.
Today, they and their son, Daniel, are well-known in the district for putting native vegetation back along streams once infested with willow and for incorporating vegetation corridors into their paddock design.
