Phase 1: Nillumbik's Creek Connections

Phase 1 of the Nillumbik’s Creek Connections project focuses on 30 of Nillumbik Shire Council’s key reserves along Diamond Creek, Plenty River, Yarra River and their tributaries. Similar to the National Threatened Species Strategy it follows an approach of science, action and partnerships. In 10 of the 30 reserves the Green Army team will survey for the presence of threatened species and threats to those species. This will give them an improved understanding of the impact of their ecological restoration actions. They will monitor EPBC listed plants and survey Eltham Copper Butterflies.The team will support ongoing partnerships with the community groups by supporting Friends Group working bees and the delivery of a National Tree Day event.
