About the Strathewen Landcare Group

General information

• The group was established in 1992. It is the second oldest Landcare Group in the Nillumbik Shire.

   

• The group covers the area bounded by the National Park, Bald Spur Rd, Jacksons Rd, Hildrebrands Rd, Shaws Rd, Strathewen Rd, Eagles Nest Rd, and Harrys Rd. This area groups together properties whose land is part of the Arthurs Creek catchment above the Eagles Nest Road bridge at Arthurs Creek.

   

• The primary focus of the group is to make public funds accessible to landholders. This is done by applying for funds in the name of the group and, more importantly, disseminating information to members so that they can apply for the funds which are available to private landholders.

   

• We publish a newsletter. This allows members to keep in touch with the many activities and sources of information which are advertised through the Landcare network.

   

• We are affiliated with:

  • Victorian Farmers Federation Farm Tree and Land Management group. Each member receives a copy of their quarterly Landcare magazine.

     

  • Greening Australia Victoria.  Members get very reduced rates for seminars and equipment.

     

   

• We work very closely with the staff at Nillumbik Shire, the Department of Sustainability and Environment, Melbourne Water, and Parks Victoria.

   

• Strathewen Landcare appreciates that most of its members have relatively large properties which keep them very busy. As such we limit group activities. We do try to organise at least 4 special events during the year. We hold current public and property liability insurance policies which cover all our group activities. See the roadside signs or the newsletter for more details about these activities
