Event description

Save our threatened species! Plant trees as part of a project to help Giant Gippsland Earthworm colonies.

Join Landcare and Gippsland Threatened Species Action Group at this tree planting field day which aims to put indigenous species back into these steep gullies, next to where the threatened earthworms can be found. This is a modified planting method which plants next to (not on top of) the GGE colonies, to avoid the risk of drying out the soil where GGEs are found.

Please note this planting site is uneven, steep and may be slippery. A moderate level of fitness is required.

If you are looking for a planting day for small children our Pedal and Plant event will be a lot more suitable :)

Morning tea will be provided.

Please note there is no toilets on site. The site is at Ranceby, 5min north of Korumburra. The address will be sent closer to the time.

The South Gippsland Landcare Network (SGLN) was formed in 1995 and today is made up of 16 member Landcare groups and over 500 families who manage and farm the land. The success of the network is due to the inspiring contributions made by the passionate individuals and volunteers.

Our Vision

SGLN represents and supports communities working together to increase biodiversity and promote sustainable land management.

Our Goals & Objectives

To support and facilitate on-ground action across SGLN and its Landcare groups.
To facilitate communication and cooperation within and between groups and grow membership.
To share knowledge, deliver projects and collaborate with our network and stakeholders.
To ensure SGLN demonstrates best practice governance and supports our groups to do the same.

Who are we

Our network is made up of 16 local groups working to preserve and protect the natural environment, while also enhancing the long-term sustainability of farming in this part of Victoria.

Our members are primary producers, hobby farmers, tree changers, backyard gardeners and environmentalists of all sorts – a diverse group that finds common ground in caring for the land and building community

SGLN is a not-for-profit organisation governed by a board. The board is responsible for the overall governance of the organisation: the leadership and supervision of the organisation’s affairs. The board’s primary role is to protect and enhance the value of the organisation for the benefit of its members and its mission.

Management and secretarial duties are fulfilled by a Landcare Facilitator. Projects are delivered by SGLN Project Officer/s and external contractors as required.
