Victorian Landcare Grant Success!
We are happy to announce that we have been successful 2 Victorian Landcare grants, administered by the Corangamite Catchment Management Authority. These vital grants help us deliver targeted community and environmental projects, which are outlined below.
Friends of Murrk Ngubitj Yarram Yaluk – Caring for Country Together
This project will allow us to facilitate guided tours for the local community so that they understand the significant values of the reserve, will allow us to share the cultural value from a Wadawurrung perspective and will help us engage with young people in a ‘hands-on’ way that respects the landscape and engage people passively.
Grant outcomes:
- Install environmental signs
- Run bush kinder sessions
- Run plant identification walks
- Fund weed removal works
- Host Wadawurrung Walks and talks
- Purchase tools and equipment for volunteers.
Moonah Matters: Restore, Rebuild, Reconnect
This project will restore remnant Coastal Moonah Woodland along the Bellarine Rail Trail and Bunnywoods in the Borough of Queenscliffe, where weed invasion is reducing habitat quality and biodiversity. Through targeted weed control, indigenous revegetation and habitat restoration, the project will strengthen ecological integrity and improve habitat structure. Community volunteers and local groups will be engaged to support on-ground works, building local knowledge, stewardship and long-term care for these important coastal ecosystems.
Grant outcomes:
- Undertake weed control works
- Undertake revegetation
- Host Wadawurrung Walks and talks.
