A new Landcare group may soon be formed for the Kerrie area.
The Upper Deep Creek Landcare Network, with support from Macedon Ranges council, has organised a community meeting at the Kerrie Hall for people living in Kerrie, Cherokee, and parts of Hesket and Bolinda to help form a new Landcare group.
Upper Deep Creek Landcare Network Landcare facilitator Ammie Jackson welcomed the community to attend.
“The Kerrie area, extending from Hesket to Bolinda, currently has no Landcare group operating,” she said.
“We would like to address this gap and provide residents in that area with the opportunity to be part of a Landcare group, and to receive the benefits of being part of the Landcare movement.”
At the community meeting, interested residents will hear from Dr Jaclyn Harris from council on the biodiversity values of the Kerrie district and how council supports Landcare groups.
The community will also hear from Ms Jackson about the support available to Landcare groups and landholders, as well as members of other local Landcare groups on the benefits of Landcare and focus of local groups.
Ms Jackson said the focus of the new Landcare group will be driven by its members.
The community meeting is Monday 2 March, from 6.30pm.
Register by Thursday 27 February.
