There's lots of events happening at the top of the Merri catchment involving the Upper Merri Landcare Facilitator, Chris Cobern. Some recent events were: Workshop on Nesting Boxes for Wildlife on 29 June at Wallan Scout Hall (photo); Wallan Environment Group planted 270 plants in and around the Indigenous Use Garden at Taylors Creek Reserve in Wallan on 13 June; various local groups removed patches of Blackberry, Gorse and Briar Rose from along the Bendigo-Kilmore Rail Trail on 10 April;  Wallan Secondary College students and others planted 1000 native trees and shrubs along at Hadfield Park in Wallan on 4 April as part of the Hadfield Park Naturalisation project.

Chris's position is hosted by MCMC with a grant from Victorian Government Landcare Facilitators. For more detail, see the latest Upper Merri Landcare News HERE, or subscribe to receive their newsletter (and other events) HERE.
