Western District Tree Muster Update

The final stage of planning for on ground works in the Western District Tree Muster project are now taking place. Thus far we are on track to deliver some 100,000 trees, including 18.76 ha of direct seeding and 14,730 of seedlings.

Port Fairy Consolidated Primary School will be involved in plantings on 4 sites, Hawkesdale College will be planting on 1 site, while Warrnambool College, Brauer College and Jamieson Street Primary School will be involved in planting at Tozer Reserve.

We also hope that participants from the Mens Health Group at Gunditjmara Aboriginal Cooperative will be involved in plantings at Hopkins Falls and Tozer Reserve.

4 Public Sites will be involved in the project including : Hawkesdale Common, Tozer Reserve, Hopkins Falls and Lake Gillear. These public sites make great projects for involving a broad range of community groups and should be good for generating local interest in revegetation works.

Thansk to Mobile Muster (http://www.mobilemuster.com.au/) and Landcare Australia (http://www.landcareonline.com/)for the funding for this project.
