Jen Mackenzie is affectionately referred to around the wet tropics as "Dirt Girl" or "Gully Jen" for her passion and successes in sediment and erosion management. Jen is the Sediment Reduction Program Leader with Terrain NRM. Jen talks us through the existing Herbert River Sediment Reduction Program and the New Upper Johnston Sediment Reduction Program.

Remedial engineering works are also undertaken at priority sites to remedy gully and streambank erosion.
