Join us for a free expert-led ecological tour of the Spring Plains Nature Conservation Reserve in Heathcote and learn about this Box-Ironbark forest, its conservation challenges and how we are working to improve the ecological function of the forest.

Biolinks Alliance is a local conservation not-for-profit organisation that works to restore and reconnect large landscapes across Central Victoria by partnering with and building the capacity of other environmental groups and networks. Our ecologists have conducted works in the Spring Plains Reserve to improve the ecological function of the forest, especially with the aim to improve water retention and soil health for a functioning forest and healthy habitat. In this tour our expert team will explain the challenges faced by these heavily disturbed areas of Box-Ironbark forest throughout the Goldfields and demonstrate the interventions carried out and the ongoing monitoring we conduct to assess the health of the forest, track key species and examine the effectiveness of the intervention techniques.

This is a chance to get to know your local landscape, learn about the plant and animal species found in the forest and get up close to some rare beauties via our Sugar Glider monitoring cameras. Attendance is free, but registration is essential and please cancel your ticket if you can no longer attend as places are limited.

A light morning tea will be provided at the conclusion of the tour.

This program of the Regional Drought Resilience Planning program is supported by Biolinks Alliance, through funding from the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund and the Victorian Government.
