about us

  

The Heytesbury District Landcare Network was formed in 1995 as a representative body providing support and facilitation to Landcare groups and many community groups within the Heytesbury and district region. The founding Landcare principles on which the HDLN was established have remained central to the services the Network has provided over the past years. Today the HDLN has evolved to become a link between the community and government/ industry bodies delivering NRM outcomes. This is a role that the HDLN takes great pride in being able to deliver; we believe that it is a role that has been developed through the establishment of valued relationships with government / industry and the community alike. 

  

Do you want to become a member of Landcare?

Dung Beetle Surveys

This season has been different from those of past years, what has this meant for your dung beetles? 

In 2008-2009, the Dairy Action Program provided 67 dung beetle colonies to landholders for release across the district. 

Click here to see a map showing what species were released where.

Now we'd like to hear from you how they're faring...

So kick over some cow pats and give us a call to let us know what you find, or even bring in a sample for id.
