Protecting and restoring Bass Coast waterways and vital remnant vegetation

This Project will address several issues including; water quality, erosion control, remnant vegetation loss and degradation, pest plant and animal control and improving farmers knowledge of best practice environmental management. We will address these issues through a targeted revegetation, remnant vegetation protection and enhancement program. We will target landholders through our existing networks utilizing our website and newsletter, we currently have 10 Landcare groups with over 900 members which represents more than 60% of the farming families in the Bass coast region. We will run 5 field days each per year which focus on current environmental issues that have been identified by the BCLN board including the carbon farming initiative
