Bushfire Recovery Revegetation Guide

MEDIA RELEASE – ‘Restoring our Landscape’ Revegetation Guide.
A free revegetation guide is available to all landowners in the Murrindindi Shire that have fire affected properties.
The Upper Goulburn Landcare Network (UGLN) has produced the ‘Restoring our Landscape’ revegetation guide which has been funded by the Federal Government’s Caring for Our Country Fire Recovery Program.
The booklet provides landowners with information to help them make informed decisions when planning revegetation on their properties.
UGLN Fire Recovery Landcare Coordinator Chris Cobern said “the booklet was designed to highlight the issues that landowners needed to think about if they wanted healthy and sustainable native vegetation and pastures in the landscape”.
The booklet covers whether or not to plant; the benefits of planting with indigenous species including the economic and aesthetic values; and how, what, where and when to plant.
A species list also describes a large variety of local plants and their preferred locations; and how to select suitable plants for different terrain.
The booklet is available at council offices, community hubs and at out-lying general stores.
