Postponed (TBA) - How to Fund & Promote Your Pest Control Project
2025-06-21 09:00 - 15:00 | Flinders Civic Hall, 56 Cook Street, Flinders, Victoria, 3929, Australia
Invasive species like rabbits, foxes, deer, feral cats, and environmental weeds are taking a toll on our local ecosystems and biodiversity, threatening the very landscapes that make the Mornington Peninsula so special. With our collective effort, we can make a real difference.
This workshop is a chance to learn how you can ensure our community unites to take action—whether as a volunteer, a landholder, or an advocate. Join us on the front lines of conservation for this bespoke workshop to support The Mornington
Peninsula Landcare Network, its member groups and volunteers to explore how they might engage, attract participation and fund pest plant and animal projects on the Mornington Peninsula.
The workshop will cover the following elements:

Engaging Communities in Pest Plant and Animal Projects to foster community excitement and involvement in pest plant and animal projects.
Marketing for Maximum Reach learning how we can make sure our pest plant and animal projects stand out.
Securing Funding for Impact, going Beyond Traditional Approaches to secure funding for environmental projects

Each session will be interactive, giving participant the tools, ideas, and confidence to spark meaningful change and sustain momentum in their projects.
Join the Forever Agenda for an inspiring and practical day of insights, strategy, and community!

Bernie’s Biolink from Greens Bush to Arthurs Seat Community Planting day
2025-09-06 10:00 - 12:30 | 160 Main Creek, 160 Main Creek Road, Arthurs Seat, Victoria, 3936, Australia
We welcome the community to join us for a Main Creek Catchment Landcare Group (MCCLG) planting day on Saturday the 6th of August in Main Ridge. This planting day contributes to Bernie’s Biolink from Greens Bush to Arthurs Seat, an ongoing project that improves catchment health and farm productivity and addresses the lack of landscape connectivity between two significant areas of remnant vegetation.
Through revegetation and weeding and fencing of remnants, a biolink is being created across private property in the project area, benefiting numerous threatened fauna including Powerful owls and Swamp skinks.
To date, revegetation has been undertaken on numerous properties throughout the biolink zone in partnership with local primary and secondary schools, tertiary institutions, Scouts and Girl Guides Australia and the wider community.
We are reaching out to the community to help plant the last 500 plants for 2025.
What to bring: BYO hat, reusable water bottle, gloves, and weather appropriate clothes.
Landcare will supply all other tools and equipment for tree planting.
Where: 160 Main Creek Road, Main Ridge, 3928
When: Saturday 6th September 2025
Time: 10.00 – 12.30pm: introductions, training and planting
Please RSVP by Thursday the 4th September to thomas@regeneratingfarms.com.au or
call Thomas Kennett on 0499 596 493 with any questions.
Bernie’s Biolink work is supported by The Natural Resource Conservation Trust.
Please do not attend if you are unwell.
