The ‘Landcare Trailer’ is back in business

Posted on 9 April, 2015 by Connecting Country

The Landcare trailer has been in a ‘transition phase’ since October last year when the Mount Alexander Shire Council decided that they could no longer house it and Connecting Country said that they would take it on.

And now, like a strangely patterned reptile emerging from hibernation, the trailer is ready to go out into the world again.

It has had a going over by a mechanic; it’s been hosed out; it’s got a shiny new number plate and a new adapter. The only thing still missing is a coat of paint!

The Landcare trailer can be used by Landcare and Friends groups in the Mount Alexander region who would like to use it on a group project. It can also be used by landholders who are undertaking a project that is supported by Connecting Country. In the past the trailer has found most use at planting days where its 400 litre water tank, buckets, mattocks, mallets and other tools come in very handy.

The full list of equipment that the trailer contains can be found on the ‘Landcare Trailer’ page of the Connecting Country website. While you’re there take a look at the other resources that are available for loan to groups such as wildlife cameras, binoculars and bird guides, GPS units, market stall tent and more.

If your group would like to borrow the trailer contact Max at max@connectingcountry.org.au or 5472 1594. Its new home is the Connecting Country depot on Campbell Street, Castlemaine – only a block or two from it’s previous address.
