Western District Tree Muster

Basalt to Bay has been asked to apply for $62,000 from Landcare Australia for a project we’ve dubbed - Western District Tree Muster ; which will see 31,000 plus trees planted in 2009. Funding has been allocated to the Watershed 2000 project and the lower Moyne area. We hope to have funding in the bank soon. Confirmation of funding and updates of the project will be posted here and on our website.

All funds for the project have been allocated. Landcare Australia has asked us to plant 31,00o trees but we anticipate that this figure will be well over 100,000 trees with 14, 730 seedlings (mostly in the Rosebrook/Toolong/Hawkesdale area) and 18.755 ha of direct seeding (mostly in the Mortlake/Caramut area) to be planted.
