With support from the Australian Government, Connecting Country is using a Works Crew to implement a long term program to protect and enhance native vegetation across the Mount Alexander Shire and immediate surrounds in central Victoria. The majority of the Work Crew’s time will be at a variety of sites in the field undertaking activities such as tree planting, fence construction, weed removal and rabbit control.
Connecting Country’s Works Crew members also receive training in skills that are essential for this job, and will also be useful for their future job opportunities in the field of natural resource management. The experienced Crew Leader will provide relevant in-house training and guidance throughout the crew’s employment period. Accredited external training will also be provided as part of this employment.
