This is a blueprint for biodiversity conservation through restoration of ecosystem process across Mount Alexander. The blueprint identifies the shire’s natural assets, the possible threats they face and potential future actions that can be taken. Further discussions and consultations at future Reference Group meetings have refined project ideas that were initially identified. Funding opportunities and support have been sought to implement these projects to combine the strengths of both bushland and agricultural landscapes across the shire.
