South Gippsland Biolinks Plan
This project seeks to support the development of a Biolink Plan as recommended by the Biodiversity Protection Plan for South Gippsland 2024.
Proposed South Gippsland Biolinks Plan Outcomes:
- Support and assist South Gippsland Shire in reviewing and updating environmental overlay schemes.
- Provide local Landcare and other environmental groups with a plan for their area and support for funding applications to implement key recommendations.
- Connect local actions into a coordinated approach to protect and enhance the environment of South Gippsland.
Supporting Local Landcare Groups
Raising funds for individual Landcare groups helps biodiversity projects in specific areas in South Gippsland. By supporting Local Landcare Groups, you support projects such as:
Arawata Landcare Group:
Arawata Biolinks. The group has planted over 30,000 plants in recent years and is seeking donations to continue their revegetation activities, protect more remnant bush, and continue weed suppression across the region.
Nerrena Tarwin Valley Landcare Group:
Black Spur Wetlands Project.
Tarwin Landcare Group:
Deer Control Management Program.
Arawata Landcare Group
Arawata Landcare Group will build on our ongoing commitment to create on-farm biolinks across our region which has resulted in over 30000 indigenous plants being put into the ground over the last five years. We will use donated funds to continue our revegetation activities, protect more remnant bush and continue weed suppression across our group area. Our Landcare group is also embarking on a pilot program to develop on-farm biodiversity asset registers and we are seeking to roll this program out to members who wish to identify and map the flora and fauna on their properties. Learn more here.
Enhancing Koala Habitat
Protect important koala habitat and extend revegetation efforts across the landscape, allowing koalas to move safely through the environment.
Approximately 80% of koala habitat has been decimated since European settlement. Of the remaining 20%, most occurs on private land. By supporting Landcare, you support the preservation and creation of koala habitat.
Your donation helps protect and create koala habitat and improve the health of creeks, streams, and river frontages in South Gippsland.
