Amanda Elledge is a scientist with the Department of Resources in Rockhampton who has worked on the long-term Brigalow Catchment Study since 2010. This project has been active for over 57 years and was originally set up to monitor the impacts of clearing virgin brigalow woodland for cropping and grazing on hydrology, soil fertility and water quality. In more recent years, the project has been focused on comparing different grazing management strategies, such as leguminous pastures and grazing pressure on the same environmental outcomes. Amanda has authored eight peer-reviewed publications.
