Total area = .95 Ha
Outer riparian
Nitraria billardierei (Nitre-bush), Rhagodia candolleana ssp. candolleana (Sea-berry
Saltbush), Atriplex paludosa (Marsh Saltbush) Shrubland

Clusters to be randomly spread throughout planting area (Refer Figure 7). Clusters are
to be lanceolate shaped for ease of slashing around perimeter. Dimensions 30x15 m
tapering at each end, (approx size 351 m2 per cluster)
