As part of Landcare Week, Macedon Ranges Shire Council is hosting a special evening celebrating the passion, achievements and experiences of local Landcare groups.

You’ll hear directly from local Landcare leaders as they share their stories, successes and the lessons they’ve learned along the way:

• Helen Scott (Newham & District Landcare) – sustaining a strong and active Landcare group through community connections and long-term commitment.
• Peter Sporle (Pipers Creek & District Landcare) – building partnerships that deliver positive environmental outcomes, including the group’s work with the Victorian Gorse Taskforce.
• Kate Lawrence (Macedon & Mount Macedon Landcare) – creating an inclusive, welcoming volunteer community through thoughtful engagement.
• Nicole Middleton (Woodend Landcare) – delivering successful large-scale projects and the environmental and community benefits they create.

This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow volunteers, exchange ideas and celebrate the outstanding work being undertaken across the Macedon Ranges.
