In October last year we planted 432 plants on a property bordering the Muckleford Creek, to provide new vegetation connecting up to the riparian habitat. Six months on with so little rain, the plants are forging ahead and sticking their heads over the top of the guards. Well done Dan and Michael for keeping them…

We had a great day on Saturday putting in plants along the Muckleford Creek. Thanks to our members for coming out and helping, and for the lunch provided by Michael and Dan. We put 432 plants in the ground with guards in about one and a half hours. Great going gang!

Although cloudy, it will be 18 degrees tomorrow and we’d love to see you at the community planting day on the Muckleford School Road, starting at 10am and staying for lunch. Then we can all go home and plant in our own gardens and properties with the free plants we take home with us.

Hi all, we have the walk down the Bassett Creek tomorrow morning, to check out our planting from last year. It’s a lovely walk past 300 year old Redgums that are nestled amongst a young Landcare forest, to emerge into our new Landcare planting. Meet at the end of Lyndham Road at 10am.

This planting, when grown, is going to connect up to plantings that were done on…

Enter via the Muckleford Bush Reserve on the Muckleford School Road. We’d love to see as many members as possible. Please bring mattock for banging in stakes, gloves to protect your hands,…

Would you like a seed orchard on your property? Seed orchards could provide our Landcare group with seed stock and supply our members with plants for habitat enhancement. I can apply for funding to set up a seed orchard but do need some-one to volunteer a few acres of land for the purpose. In return,…
