You are invited to Bass Coast Landcare Network’s Annual General Meeting.
This year the AGM will be held at Ken and Janice Connor's Property at Screw Creek near Inverloch on May the 3rd at 11am.
We are planning to have a short AGM followed by a BBQ lunch down on a beautiful section of the creek which has a combination of remnant vegetation and revegetation. Please BYO camp chair.
Our speaker for the day will be Gio Fitzpatrick. Gio is an award-winning naturalist and ecological designer with a passion for ecological restoration in multi-use spaces. He believes that intensely modified landscapes and small, urban spaces can easily be made hospitable to a surprising range of native wildlife through careful goal-setting and selection of methods. His main project currently, is the development of the Yalukit Willam Nature Reserve on the former Elsternwick Golf Course.

On Thursday, December 5th, the Bass Coast Landcare Network (BCLN), in partnership with the Kongwak Ellipak Beef-Cheque farmer group, hosted a Partnerships Against Pests field day at the property of Marie and David Triggs in Woodleigh. More than 25 local landholders attended the event, which focused on educating farmers about managing weeds and pest animals such as foxes, rabbits, and deer on their properties.
The day began with morning tea and an introduction from BCLN’s Executive General Manager, Dave Bateman. Dave acknowledged the generous funding support for these field days from DEECA and the Department of Agriculture.
BCLN's Works Crew Team Leader, Bill Barry, led the first session, providing a thorough overview of common weed species in the region. Bill also discussed the most effective control methods and products, concluding with a Q&A session that addressed specific concerns from landholders about which chemicals and techniques work best for different types of weeds.
