Kincora is a productive mixed grazing/cropping property south of Gundagai. Like many in the south west slopes twenty years ago, owner Sam Archer was facing issues with salinity and erosion. Farmers at the time took a chance and worked closely with Landcare and Greening Australia to preserve remnants, fence off drainage lines, and plant new seedlings across their paddocks.  Two decades later, research by ANU which has closely monitored these areas since the beginning is showing clear improvements in both biodiversity, and the farm’s bottom line.
