Biodiversity Connectivity Planting, Werribee Gorge and Pentland Hills, Victoria - Project 1

This project in the Pentland Hills area northwest of Bacchus Marsh Victoria will recreate diverse habitat and biodiversity zones consistent with former vegetation communities and includes provisions for community engagement and education. Work will be completed in 2 main areas:
(1) W James Whyte Island Reserve: Biodiversity and habitat improvements (15,000 plants) adjacent to Werribee Gorge State Park and along Myrniong Creek & Werribee River including the confluence of the rivers.
(2) Myrniong and Korkuperrimul Creeks, between the Lerderderg / Wombat Forest Parks and Werribee River. The works will be in degraded woodland areas between the waterways, cross linking remnant habitat with 5000 new plantings in 4 strategic sites.
