Greenhill to Black Hill Bio-link
The Green Hill to Black Hill Alliance is a collaboration of concerned landholders aiming to restore and reconnect grassy woodlands and riparian forests along the Campaspe River. This has been driven by a “biodiversity crisis” in the region, and the need to boost land stewardship and green corridors to assist wildlife in the region.
Particular fauna considered include Koalas, Platypus, Tuans, Gliders, and Native Water Rats.
Flora of interest include Kangaroo Grass and Yam Daisy’s. The project will build the foundations for a scientifically based, long-term nature conservation project that is owned by the local community.
It will bring together local businesses, the arts community, local government sectors, farmers, Land carers, and conservation scientists. It will provide landholders with advice and property plans to help everyone to be able to contribute – whether in their gardens, bush blocks, and paddocks. Guidance will also be provided to local government to manage local reserves and forests too.
Objectives
We acknowledge and respect Victorian Traditional Owners as the original custodians of Victoria’s land and waters, their unique ability to care for Country and deep spiritual connection to it. We honour Elders past and present whose knowledge and wisdom has ensured the continuation of culture and traditional practices. We are committed to enabling self-determination for all Aboriginal people and aim to work closely with the Aboriginal community to drive action and improve outcomes especially in the context of a changing climate.
