The non-for-profit focuses on sustainable conservation, drought management and agriculture, to create a positive impact on the local environment.
Landcare facilitator Alana Mountain said how rewarding environmental work could be.
“The changes in a single person's lifetime that can be witnessed are quite profound,” Alana said.
“Landcare members have seen re-vegetation improve the health of waterways and wildlife, which is always amazing to see.”
From Yarrawonga across to the Strathbogie Ranges, the network consists of 14 different environmental groups, spread throughout northern and southern Victoria.
Groups are located throughout Yarrawonga, Euroa, Shepparton, Benalla and Seymour.
Volunteers participate in a variety of hands-on activities, such as planting trees and fixing animal habitats.
A deeper knowledge of sustainable practices is developed through engaging, fun and fulfilling experiences.
School programs informing students on preservation.
Farmers and environmental experts feature at special events, to provide invaluable information on how to implement sustainable practices.
Environmental information sessions are held frequently to provide volunteers with an in-depth understanding of preservation measures.
Resources are offered both at organisation headquarters in Benalla, or on the GCLN website.
