These site visits to the Western Grassland Reserve and online forums are a collaboration between the Melbourne Strategic Assessment team at DELWP and the Grassy Plains Network.

These online forums present important background to the complex issues that affect the future of the Western Grassland Reserve

Each forum will be recorded and available online (see https://grassyplains.net.au/wgr-management-and-vision/) for those unable to attend. They will also include Q&A sessions. Questions can be submitted via Zoom's online chat, or can be emailed prior to the event to julie.power@delwp.vic.gov.au.
