The three year Box Gum Grassy Woodland project is progressing well, although the wet weather hasn’t helped in getting on ground works completed. Many of the outputs have already been met including the creation of a WCMN library, the erection of two malleefowl signs on Wychitella Rd, (with Loddon Shire assistance), Land for Wildlife and Weeds of the Wedderburn Area speaker nights and providing information to the community via websites, newsletters etc.
In terms of on ground works, over 100ha of weed control has occurred, 100ha of linkages created and 100 ha of rabbit control. There is more work that needs to be done and land holders who have shown interest will be contacted shortly to begin works on their properties. Being a three year project, if you are interested in having works done, but can’t participate this year, feel free to contact the group to register your interest for future years. Contact information is given at the end of the newsletter.
