Local to Landscape

Local to Landscape is the only ecological approach in Central Victoria that brings the critical need of our native plants and animals together with the communities best-placed to protect them – for genuine and lasting environmental change.

This planning system - created by Biolinks Alliance - brings together community members to agree on and foster large-scale landscape restoration actions in their local area.

Backed by Biolinks Alliance’s expertise and leadership - together, community members (such as landholders and community environmental groups) in consultation with government and Traditional Owners, create a plan and ecological investment prospectus for their local area.

A Local to Landscape plan and prospectus can include innovative pilot projects, online science based resources, education, and consultancy that helps build the capacity, skills and knowledge of volunteers and community environmental groups - empowering them to take ownership and lead large-scale landscape restoration.
