This Christmas, support landscape restoration and habitat creation in Central Vic
Posted on 28 November, 2024 by Anna
In this season of giving, please consider donating to Connecting Country and help support our vision for landscape restoration across the Mount Alexander region of central Victoria.
We can’t wait for governments to act! We need to build resilience in our local landscape in the face of climate change. As a local, not-for-profit, community-based organisation, we work at the grassroots to protect, restore and enhance biodiversity to help threatened species, like the Brush-tailed phascogale and our wonderful woodland bird community, to thrive.
Over the past 15 years we have:
- Restored over 15,000 ha of habitat across the Mount Alexander region, which equates to around 8% of the shire.
- Delivered more than 245 successful community education events.
- Installed more than 480 nest boxes for the threatened Brush-tailed Phascogale
- Maintained a network of 50 long-term bird monitoring sites
- Secured funding to deliver more than 65 landscape restoration projects.
- Supported an incredible network of over 30 Landcare and Friends groups.
We should all be proud of what we’ve achieved. However, there’s much more to do.
You can be assured that any financial support from you will be well spent, with 100% invested into our core work of supporting and implementing landscape restoration in our local area. We run a lean operation and our small team of part-time staff attracts voluntary support that ensures every dollar goes a long way.
