Land Restoration Film in Progress
Posted on 4 December, 2013 by Connecting Country
The Ballarat Region Treegrowers (BRT) was formed in 1998 by a small group of farm forestry enthusiasts, and has since been promoting the benefits of integrating trees into the rural landscape for commercial and environmental benefits for landowners and the broader community. They are a local branch of Australian Forest Growers. The BRT has set up its own ‘biorich plantation’ based on the principles of integrating conservation and economic production (click here for more info).
The group is in the process of making a documentary film which will promote the return of native vegetation in rural areas through landholder-driven activities such as Landcare, agroforestry, biolinks and ‘sustainable’ farm management plans. They are interested in including Connecting Country as part of the doco, and we have been in discussions with them about this.
You can learn more about the film here. The site includes a video ‘promo’ featuring prominent environmental educator Rob Gell. They are also seeking donations to extend the length and quality of the film.
