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.

Saddle Club






Sales representatives from Bristol- Myers - Squibb Pharmaceutical Company decided to conclude their Hepatitis type B1 Conference with a team building volunteer activity. These guys were from all over Australia and needed a tree planting site within 1hours drive of Tullamarine Airport . We found that perfect site at Jonathan McLean's Equestrian Center ,Combinaine.


We admired the stables and horses before doing some garden restoration work .


Tim from Treeproject helped lay out the site with Cath Olive selecting the species. Janet entertained the visitors and Jonathan told his bushfire survival story .


12 volunteers 300 plants finished by lunch time and caught the 2pm plane home to QLD


Thanks to Nicole Goode for organising this team .

I like the one about the bus driver, it took me ages to work out how to make a heart.
