Preserving our environment and history along the Gippsland Plains Rail Trail

The Green Army will assist with the improvement and maintenance of the Gippsland Plains Rail Trail between Heyfield and Traralgon, a distance of 35 kilometres. The Green Army will improve the environmental value of this biolink by mapping vegetation, removing weeds and rubbish and undertaking revegetation work at key locations. Participants will also assist with researching and developing content for interpretative signage and distance markers along the Rail Trail. Delivery of activities will be overseen by the Gippsland Plains Rail Trail Committee of Management with advice from key partners such as Department of Environment and Primary Industries, Landcare, Latrobe Shire Council and local Historical Societies to ensure that they contribute to achieving the proposed outcomes.
