Black Gums, Butterflies and More at our Annual General Meeting: 11 August 2024.

The community is invited to attend Woodend Landcare’s Annual General Meeting at 10am on Sunday 11 August for a talk by the Threatened Species Conservancy on saving Woodend’s Black Gums, endangered butterflies and more.

Congrats to our Local Landcare Legends

Huge congratulations to our local Landcare legends were honored at the recent Landcare awards – our own Nicole Middleton, Newham Landcare’s Penny Roberts and Malmsbury Landcare’s John Walter were all commended for the Joan Kirner Landcare Award. Highly deserved accolades for all.

Woodend Landcare also congrats Marie Jones from Connecting Country in our neighboring Mount Alexander Shire who was named as the winner of the Joan Kirner Landcare Award.
