Across Victoria, nature restoration projects are underway on private land as part of the State Government’s BushBank Program.
Key Delivery Partner, Cassinia Environmental, is inviting community members, conservationists and landowners to find out more by taking part in its spring BushBank events.
Designed to showcase restoration success stories and inform curious landowners, these events offer the opportunity to see unique revegetation models in action.
Across 53 projects, the BushBank Private Land Stream has secured 8699 hectares towards the ambitious 20,000 hectare goal.
To date, 4800 hectares have already been restored.
The program is creating long-term conservation outcomes and offers new opportunities for landowners through revegetation, covenants and access to carbon markets.
WALK AND TALK –
LINDENOW SOUTH
Friday, October 31, 10am – 12pm
Tour a self-managed BushBank site restored by a bold landowner who has overcome challenging soil conditions and degraded pasture to establish thriving revegetation.
Visitors will explore interesting direct seeding and planting techniques and hear practical insights into soil management, local flora and long-term site care.
The Victorian Government’s $77 million BushBank program provides a unique opportunity for private landowners to play a meaningful role in addressing climate change and supporting wildlife, leaving a legacy for generations to come.
Delivered by Cassinia Environmental, the BushBank Private Land Stream supports private landowners to undertake restoration projects. Restored sites are permanently protected by Trust for Nature with conservation covenants.
BushBank is the most ambitious restoration program in Victoria’s history and its delivery will continue until 2035. Expressions of interest are open to landowners with a minimum 20 hectares available for restoration.
