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.

ANZ in blizzard conditions.....brrrrr



25th June 2010

ANZ staff put up with bitterly cold conditions whilst pulling out burnt fence lines in regrowth at Kinglake. We know they'll ensure their fingers thaw out before they start work.







'Fat thumbs' may not be welcome in the accounts department, but they are easily tolerated when tree planting and there's no chance of causing a financial meltdown!

10 NAB Fencers without Boundaries


Upper Goulburn Landcare's fence re-building work is going from strength to strength.

Today we removed 700m of old fence and finished up by 2pm. The weather held off until about 3pm and I caught up with Alan Stafford at Kinglake West about another fencing job.

You might recognize a few of the NAB blokes in the photo from Trevor Young's at Heathcote Junction last month!

My dog Gemma had a good day too, plenty of pats and sausages. A couple of the crownies left in the Landcare trailer from Saturday went down well tonight as well.

Cheers, Chris.
