Grassy Groundcover Gazette
Posted on 22 January, 2013 by Connecting Country
The Grassy Groundcover Gazette is an online newsletter about the conservation, restoration and management of grasslands and grassy woodlands in south-eastern Australia. When it first came out in May 2006, the primary purpose of the newsletter was to keep people in touch who were involved in the Grassy Groundcover Research Project. Since then it has reached a far wider audience.
Three examples of items in the latest issue are the 14ha reconstructed wildlflower grasslands on land that had previously been used for cropping on the western outskirts of Geelong; the restored grassland area at the Werribee Open Range Zoo; and the seeded grassland demonstration plots at Inverleigh, Lake Bolac and Dunkeld.
The restoration of grasslands and grassy woodlands in the Mount Alexander Shire and surrounds faces similar challenges to those described in this Gazette. The information is therefore likely to be of value to people working to restore habitats here. To view the Gazette click here.
