Who are we?
Korumburra Landcare Group Inc. is a friendly and welcoming group of farmers, small land holders and urban dwellers who share a common passion to promote the care of country by revegetation and weed management, and the restoration of the natural environment on public and private land. We also raise awareness and provide education in sustainable agriculture and the natural environment.
​
Our group covers the upper Powlett catchment area which starts in main street Korumburra.

Activities

• Community planting days, where members and other volunteers work together to plant 1000’s of indigenous plants. These hands-on days finish with a great lunch, where we get to relax and catch up with other landcarers.

 

• We provide and promote a range of engaging and informative environmental and sustainable farming educational activities during the year. This may involve hearing from guest speakers, farm walks and other hands-on activities. We also promote many great educational opportunities provided by the Bass Coast Landcare Network and other Landcare groups to our members.

 

• New projects for 2024 include an Interpretive Trail Project on the Great Southern Rail Trail and formation of a Grower’s Group which will grow local indigenous plants for a range of projects. More projects are on the drawing board!

Want to undertake a planting on your property?

Bass Coast Landcare Network supports our group’s members with provision of free advice on selection of suitable plant species and weed control for specific sites on your property. They will also investigate the possible funding sources for larger land holders. Some funding sources supplement cost of fencing off the planting area, as well as plant costs.
