The Critical Role of Pollinators In Protecting Biodiversity Webinar is an intriguing look at how pollinators and other invertebrates are the backbone to our ecosystems.
Read MoreHear about ways to protect and restore these elders of our lands. At this webinar, we'll together look at:
Why are Large Old Trees so important? What are the dire threats they face? How can we together urgently help them?
This webinar offers a chance to discover insights from special guest presenter, Annette Rypalski, Biodiversity Director at Odonata Foundation into what it takes to ‘rewild’ Central Victoria and move towards a nature-positive future for our region.
Read MoreDiscover at this webinar how the Spring Plains Watershed Repair Pilot Project paves the way for a new approach to building climate resilience and restoring biodiversity in Goldfields landscapes at scale and speed, and how Biolinks Alliance is looking to share and help adapt it for use in other landscapes across the region.
Read MoreDr Chris Pocknee talks about the specialised approach of ecological thinning, one of the innovative interventions used at our Watershed Repair Pilot Project at Spring Plains Nature Conservation Reserve (NCR) on Taungurung country. This technique is used in dense regrowth Box Ironbark forest to accelerate forest maturation and restore biodiversity.
Read MoreThe plight of gliders, from the cat-sized Greater Glider to the miniscule Feathertail Glider, capture the hearts and minds of many people across our region. Don't miss the chance to learn more about these adorable creatures (many of which are threatened) and the initiatives to protect them in this webinar, Glideways in Central Victoria.
Read MoreListen to this fascinating conversation with Biolinks Alliance Ecologist, Chris Pocknee, and Local to Landscape Facilitator, Cameron O’Mara about our urgent work to save Large Old ‘Hero’ Trees and their life-sustaining hollows.

Read MoreThis workshop showcases ecological restoration projects designed to repair the hydrological function, soil health and associated biodiversity of damaged ‘natural’ bushland that has been highly altered by past land uses. Under discussion will be practical approaches for restoration, learnings from trials and how trials can be scaled-up for greater impact at landscape scales.

Read MoreNewham Landcare has produced this 5 minute video which promotes the important role of the Cobaw Biolink in enhancing the connections between Mount Macedon and the Cobaw Range on both private and public land. This video aims to engage landholders and residents and make them aware that their contribution, no matter how big or small, is environmentally vital. Protecting existing high quality native vegetation and creating connectivity in the biolink will help native plants and animals adapt to climate change. Spotlight surveys on habitat-rich roadsides round Newham found more animals present in the Cobaw Biolink than during similar surveys on Mount Macedon.
Read MoreThe afternoon of the symposium was spent looking at various methods being tried to bolster the quality of grasslands in degraded sites at the Euroa Arboretum and farmland at Miepoll.
Read MoreAboriginal burning explains the historical distribution of native grasslands, and burning rather than grazing may be an efficient long-term way to restore the quality of these grasslands.
Read MoreOne legacy of the gold mining era was the massive amounts of tailings (sludge) that swept across many floodplains and was a big issue for farmers in Victoria. The original braided floodplains and chains of ponds, and the pastures and crops on this most fertile land, were replaced by infertile sludge that filled in the valleys then rapidly eroded into incised creeks with water tables well below the surface.
