Environmental support for bushfire recovery in Harcourt and surrounds

Posted on 2 June, 2026 by Bonnie Humphreys

Connecting Country is grateful to be able to offer opportunities to support environmental recovery on private land in and around fire affected areas in the Mount Alexander shire and surrounds, thanks to a range of philanthropic and government funders.

Support available (but not limited to) includes;

Property visits, ecological assessments and advice
Nest boxes
Contributions towards weed control
Minor erosion mitigation works
Reintroduction of woody habitat
Revegetation of local indigenous shrubs and trees.

We are looking for properties that have a commitment to ongoing low-level maintenance of nest boxes, weed and pest animal control.

While we have secured funding to support these actions, Connecting Country is always looking for opportunities to support landholders within the Mount Alexander Shire with environmental improvements and habitat restoration, so reach out if there are other environmental actions that have not been covered and we will investigate opportunities for you as they become available. Priority for this project will be given to properties that most closely align with funding priorities and guidelines.
