Grow West: a major project of the Port Phillip and Westernport CMA
Grow West is a project to rehabilitate degraded farm land west of Melbourne. This involves a range of approaches including tree-planting, education, improving farming techniques and adoption of alternative land uses.
You can transform degraded, uneconomic land into productive and sustainable businesses.
The Grow West project region. See the detailed map for more information.
You can renovate a landscape of degraded land, scarred by soil erosion and salinity, and infested with rabbits and noxious weeds.
You can reverse the economic and environmental burdens caused by these problems.
But not on your own.
You can play an effective part.
- Landholders - Have your land replanted with native vegetation, learn about pest animal control, or help protect and restore the landscape.
- Businesses - You can provide crucial support by becoming involved at a corporate level, or by sponsoring materials, trees, machinery, labour, technical advice or competitively priced professional services.
