Thank you for your support South Gippsland Shire Council. Have you got love to give?

Kongwak Hills Landcare Group has had recent success in obtaining funding from Planet Ark and South Gippsland Shire Council grants to support it’s "Love your Reserve" project.
The project focuses on education, restoration and preservation of the Kongwak Pioneer Reserve, 41 hectares of significant remnant vegetation in the heart of Kongwak township and home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, some threatened. In recent years, the Reserve has suffered the effects of "die-back" to it's vegetation and is in need of love from it’s community. Members of KHLG had a great day out at the Inverloch Kongwak Primary School's "The Great Fete" on Saturday 18 March 2023.
Kongwak Hills Landcare Group hosted a stall with informative and interactive displays about what we do, indigenous tubestock and seed packs, stickers, badges and more. The wildlife nesting box and monitoring equipment display was a hit for all ages. |
