2022-11-20 10:00 - 13:30 | 105 Range Road, 105 Range Road, Mount Martha, Victoria, Australia
Our next B&M Landcare Activity is a farm visit and working bee on Sunday morning 20th November 10 am to 1.30pm.
We will be guests on a beautiful 120-acre property in the hills just South of the Briars at 105 Range Rd, Mt Martha.
The owners, Barry and Lynne Fitzpatrick, are keen to restore parts of the original natural environment there. They are one of several properties creating a biolink to connect wildlife to surrounding properties within our catchment.
After a walk and talk with the farm manager Brad Campbell, our working bee (for those able/interested) will focus on removing boneseed and pittosporum within some bushland surrounding an existing water body, which links into greater catchment of property.
We hope you can make it, including to the free BBQ and enjoy the experience helping regenerate the natural environment.
RSVP to me (bmlgcommittee@gmail.com) by Friday 18th Nov for catering purposes.

Land management for horses with Stuart Myers
Mornington Peninsula Equine Landcare will host a one day capacity building workshop for horse property owners as part of a Victoria-wide roadshow with Stuart and Jane Myers MSc (Equine) – international speakers on the subject of sustainable land management for horses.
Currently, much of the accepted information that is available to horse property owners is incorrect and/or outdated, with traditional management practices leading to issues for horses and the land.
This event will empower horse property owners to identify ways to improve current management systems and adopt sustainable farm and pasture management techniques designed with equine welfare and the natural environment in mind.

We welcome the community to join us for our first Mornington Peninsula Landcare Network (MPLN) planting day on the 18th of June 2023 in Main Ridge. This planting day contributes to the Greens Bush to Arthur’s Seat Biolink project (GB2AS) that improves catchment health and provides landscape connectivity between significant areas of remnant vegetation.

As a result, a biolink is being created between Greens Bush and Arthur’s seat.
Through holistic land management planning, site specific local provenance tubestock species were selected for installation on farm land that is located in the biolink zone. To date, revegetation has been undertaken on fifteen properties, in partnership with local primary & secondary schools, tertiary institutions, Scouts and Girl Guides Australia and the wider community. A total of 830 volunteers have contributed to the planting of 27,500 Indigenous plants and a further four properties are participating in this year’s planting.
What to bring: BYO hat, reusable cup, gloves, weather appropriate clothes and a water bottle. Landcare will supply all other tools and equipment for tree planting.

What: Annual Community working bee & BBQ to undertake weed control works in the Harrisons Road – Road Reserve. Plus, this year: planting some native tube trees and shrubs

Why: The road reserve on Harrisons Road, Dromana contains some of the best examples of remnant vegetation on the Mornington Peninsula. As well as containing important habitat for many of our native species, remnant vegetation on this road reserve provides essential links to other areas including Dromana Bushland Reserve, Bald Hill and Arthurs Seat State Park. These links are essential for the ongoing conservation of biodiversity on the Mornington Peninsula. In addition, the vegetation supports birds that eat the insects that attack our pastures.

When: Saturday 15th July 8.30am until lunch. Meet in the Dromana Secondary College southern carpark. Come for just an hour if that’s all you have – that’s still great.

What’s in it for me?
1] Satisfaction that you have helped to maintain a weed free habitat for our native plants and animals. You’ve protected our environment.
2] To have a laugh and a yarn with fun people.
3] Pick up tips about our native vegetation and eradication of weeds from local experts.
4] Turn up and be eligible for a free bird nesting box, worth $60, or rabbit control gear.
5] Enjoy a good BBQ after our working bee, commencing around 1pm, meet and greet your neighbours from the district, relax, chat about your experiences.
Dunns Creek Landcare provides: Morning tea, coffee and juice with freshly baked goods. BBQ of sausages, lamb cutlets, tomato sauce, bread, salads & fruit!
BYO: other food and drink of your choice.

What do I do now?
RSVP: to let us know you can join us, to give us an idea of numbers for food: Email dunnscreeklandcare@gmail.com SMS: 0417 564 599
If you have other commitments that morning, just come for lunch to meet your neighbours. You’re welcome.

Anything else?
1] The BBQ. If you would like to assist with this instead of the working bee, please contact as above.
