Strathbogie Planting Day funded by Landcare Australia/AusNet grant
Back in September and early October 2025, the Strathbogie Landcare Group rolled up their sleeves and planted 215 native trees across two local sites. The trees, funded through a Landcare Australia and AusNet grant, will grow to provide vital habitat for native wildlife and help create important vegetation corridors across the landscape near Mt Wombat. Over time, this planting will contribute to greater biodiversity, improved landscape connectivity, and a more resilient local ecosystem.
