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.

Windy Ridge




September 2nd 2010
Heathcote Junction . Carla Hendersons Block .
Carla lost her house during the fire , she is on her own and needed help to get started with the cleaning up . 43 ANZ volunteers pulled out burnt fencing and removed weeds and unwanted regrowth from her house site and burnt it on a bonfire.
It was so windy on this ridge top that I had to bring a tent to keep the BBQ out of the wind . Catering for this many volunteers in the field is challenging but Chris & Janet have it down to a fine art by now !
