Newham Landcare is delighted to share to share our 5 minute video
which promotes the important role of the Cobaw Biolink in enhancing the connections between Mount Macedon and the Cobaw Range on both private and public land. The video aims to engage landholders and residents and make them aware that their contribution, no matter how big or small, is environmentally vital. Protecting existing high quality native vegetation and creating connectivity in the biolink will help native plants and animals adapt to climate change. Spotlight surveys on habitat-rich roadsides round Newham found more animals present in the Cobaw Biolink than during similar surveys on Mount Macedon.
Landholders can help contribute to the biolink through enhancing waterways, undertaking weed and pest control, protecting remnant vegetation and revegetation and encouraging native grasslands on their properties.
Thanks for funding support from Macedon Ranges Shire Council and Melbourne Water. The video is a contribution to the on-line version of the Macedon Ranges Sustainability Festival where it also online at https://mrsg.org.au/environment.
