What is Landcare Fire Recovery?

Upper Goulburn Landcare Network
Since the devastating Black Saturday bushfires of Feb 2009, the Upper Goulburn Landcare Network has been working with landholders and local communities in the Murrindindi and Mitchell Shires to rebuild and rehabilitate the local environment on private property.
This blog presents some of the stories.
To find out more about our program or to volunteer with one of our projects contact Landcare Coordinator Chris Cobern on 5736 0104.

Great stakes available in Seymour


Load number 1: the first 3000 of the 20,000 timber stakes the Fire Recovery Project has ordered from GATE Enterprises Seymour - that's about six pallet's worth of stakes!

G.A.T.E offers employment to people with a disability in Seymour and the surrounding district. Skilled supervisors work with employees, assisting them to develop new skills, confidence and self-esteem. An extra night shift worked for a few weeks to complete our order.
These stakes are made from waste timber collected from demolition sites and sawmill off-cuts. Another great example of this project's community-focus.
