Fire Recovery for the District at Glenfyne Hall.

An excellent turn out at the Fire recovery BBQ and chat at Glenfyne Hall last night. More than 70 in attendance with Elingamite-Cobrico Landcare hosting and the HDLN crew and CCMA supporting the event. Thanks to all who pitched in to help.

In Autumn 2022 we partnered with Otway Agroforestry Network to run the Master Tree Growers course. It’s an 8-day, field based course for landholders interested in planting and managing trees and shrubs for conservation and profit.

​

The course covered a wide range of topics that reflect the interests and aspirations of the participating landholders, such as establishing and managing of trees on farms for shelter, aesthetics, biodiversity, soil erosion control, high quality timber and other forest based products. There were 28 graduates.
