Wingillie station wetlands
We support the managers of Wingillie Station through the provision of water to key sites, the development of a water management plan and expert staff to regularly monitor wetlands on their property.
Water from the Environmental Water Trust and the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder has been used to support floodplain vegetation and biodiversity at Wingillie Station since 2016.
The flows managed by the MDWWG are directly supporting:
mature river red gum, black box, lignum and nitre goosefoot and other wetland plants on the floodplain
habitat for a high diversity of waterbirds
habitat for frogs, with a focus on the endangered southern bell frog
habitat and recruitment opportunities for the re-introduced small native fish, the Murray hardyhead. 2021-22 environmental water event recorded the most prolific breeding event in which 100,000’s of individuals was observed!
