Get involved and benefit
Have you been looking for a long-term replacement for serrated tussock? Are you interested in beautifying your property and attracting native birds back to the area? Does lowering your land management costs and establishing a long-term investment interest you?
If so, Grow West may be able to help. Grow West works with landholders to address land degradation issues on properties through activities such as revegetation, remnant enhancement and farm forestry.
Biodiversity Plantings
Grow West's biodiversity plantings aim to address long-term land management issues and improve the quality of productive land in the Upper Werribee Catchment.
Plantings also aim to enhance biodiversity values in the Grow West area by providing additional habitat for local plants and animals and connecting major parks and smaller patches of native vegetation.
If you would like information on next season's biodiversity plantings, please call Grow West Works Facilitator Trevor Prowd on 9218 5613 or email on trevor.prowd@ppwcma.vic.gov.au
Planning the Plantings
Landholders can express interest in future tree planting projects to assist Grow West in project planning.
Volunteering
Grow West have been fortunate in developing partnerships with educational institutions. Many have conducted various studies within the Grow West project area eg. Landscape Architecture plans, marketing strategy, landholder surveys, development of an environmental educational kit etc.
If your institution wishes to conduct a study/project that would benefit the project and achieve your outcomes, please contact us.
