This year marks a remarkable milestone - 40 years since Landcare's humble beginnings.

In 1986, under the leadership of the late Joan Kirner, then Minister for Conservation, Forests and Lands and Heather Mitchell, former Victorian Farmers Federation President, Landcare was born. What began as a simple yet powerful idea has grown into one of Australia's most inspiring community-led movements.

We are inviting fellow Landcarers to join in celebrating this wonderful achievement. Over the past four decades so much has been accomplished thanks to the commitment, care and hard work of so many people.

Where are they now? Revisiting tree decline in north east Victoria

Where are they now? Revisiting tree decline in North East Victoria

Loss of paddock trees is a key impact of drought and has significant flow-on impacts for on-farm biodiversity, shade and shelter.

This week, ANU’s Sustainable Farms team is back in the field across the Byawatha and Springhurst regions of north east Victoria, revisiting sites first studied more than 20 years ago. Ecologists Angelina Siegrist and Erin Liddell, pictured alongside Lachlan Campbell, Sustainable Agriculture Facilitator with North East CMA, are assessing the current health and condition of paddock trees, as part of the Ovens Murray Drought Resilience Plan project ‘Where are they now? Revisiting tree decline in north-east Victoria’. Link to https://www.necma.vic.gov.au/.../Ovens-Murray-Drought..
