The group was originally formed to tackle soil erosion, vegetation decline, pest plants and water quality. It has since grown into the largest group in the BCLN.
The BVLG is part of the Bass Coast Landcare Network and is based around the localities of San Remo, Bass, Archies Creek, Corinella, Tenby Point, Grantville and Woodleigh in and around the Bass River Valley. Our area rises above the locale of Woodleigh, west of the South Gippsland Highway, with the Bass River headwaters drawn from the Strzelecki Ranges, north of the town of Korumburra. The river flows generally south by west, joined by one minor tributary, before reaching its river mouth and emptying into the Western Port, west of the town of Bass within the Bass Coast Shire. The river descends 60m (200 ft) over its combined 59km course. Our current and planned work focuses on tree planting, fencing to support regeneration of native flora and to reduce erosion impact of livestock, weed and feral pest control, maintenance of reserves within our catchment, wetlands development and waterway protection, and the development of wildlife corridors. Within an area mainly devoted to pastural industry, we have a strong focus on regenerative farming and protection of soil cover. visionOur community learning and working together for a healthy and sustainable environment.
