Repairing Victorian Landscapes - the Spring Plains Watershed Repair project

The Spring Plains Nature Conservation Reserve, on Taungurung country, in central Victoria is a local hotspot for Swift Parrots and other threatened species. However, its damaged soils are no longer porous enough to absorb rainfall, so less water is available to the landscape and its food webs. Like many other box-ironbark forests, the ecosystem is so damaged that it cannot recover without active restoration interventions.

"Linking the Landscape - The Cobaw Biolink" by Newham Landcare

Newham 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.

Greater Glider mitigation strategies workshop

Greater Glider populations have a disjunct distribution across their range largely due to habitat loss such as clearing, logging and fires, but also resulting from historic climate change that has left some populations isolated (eg. Wombat Forest, Strathbogie Ranges, South Gippsland). Climate change is impacting remnant habitats’ ability to support glider populations.
