Grazing Restrictions urged for NSW Snowy area erosion risk
A report by a four man committee for the Australasian Academy of Science recommends that grazing above 4500 tons be controlled to save catchment areas. Professor Turner chairing the committee said about 1000 square miles of NSW highland country were affected mostly by sheep grazing. NSW last week banned grazing in areas affecting the Snowy Mountains scheme after a thin season. In Victoria the 850 square mile area threatened was for cattle grazing. Turner said restriction would extend to protect lowland pastures while soil conservation authorities study the best measures to prevent erosion.
