Today our Landcare group won the Australian Community Media Landcare Community Group Award at the 2021 Victorian Landcare Awards online ceremony. “This award acknowledges an outstanding community group that is improving sustainable land use and/or is undertaking on-ground action to protect, enhance or restore the natural values of an area on behalf of the community.” (Landcare Victoria)
Our award acceptance video showcases the landscape of our major project – the Cobaw Bolink – with some past and present committee members. Our award certificate is here.
We are thrilled that the Group’s work has been acknowledged. Our group will go forward as the Victorian nominee for the ACM Landcare Community Group Award at the 2022 National Landcare Awards in Sydney.
Congratulations to all other award nominees and winners, and thanks to member Sasha Trikojus for producing our video.
