Photo: Part of a 50-year-old restoration site in what is now Kosciuszko National Park. The erosion from grazing was so severe in places that the target for restoration was shifted from alpine herbfield to what became known as 'erosion feldmark' (naturally occuring apine feldmark being a stony, barren nearby community).
