The Mongarlowe River willow monitoring project is part of the Willows out of Our Rivers project that is mapping willows by taxa across South East NSW to update the data available of willow distribution. At the same time where resources are available Black Willows and Grey Sallow Willows are being treated where we have landowner consent. If we find evidence that other willows are seeding we will also be helping landowners with managing these willows where resources are available.

The Friends of the Mongarlowe River have carried out a weed mapping project along the Mongarlowe River and mapped the location of willows including two black willows. the group are contacting landowners to gage their support for a willows control program as part of a riparian project to protect and endangered Macquarie Perch.
