The Works Crew is the on-ground arm of the Bass Coast Landcare network, a not for profit community based organisation promoting sustainable land use and management.  They were formed in 2006 with the aim of assisting in on-ground Landcare project work, as well as offering traineeships in the environment field.
​
Our highly skilled Works Crew staff are all qualified in Certificate III Conservation and Land Management, with trainees studying the same course.  They offer a wide range of services including weed spraying, planting, vegetation assessments and weed management plans. Any profit generated by the Works Crew is used to support the Network's activities.
