In December 2020, we hosted a tour of the Pollack Swamp and Smokehouse Lagoon in the Koondrook Perricoota (KP) Forest. The tour attracted over 45 people from Barham and surrounds, some making the trip from as far as Deniliquin, Moama and Kerang.
The tour included three stops: the Pollack Swamp Inlet, the Pollack Lagoon, and lastly the KP Smokehouse Lagoon. The purpose of the tour was to demonstrate the positive effects that managed environmental watering has had in the Pollack, to raise awareness of the current poor condition of the broader Koondrook KP Forest, and to lead a bottom-up community-led approach for a shared vision of the forest.

“After working on this project for the last ten years, this area will not last another ten without irreversible damage”.
