Marlo Landcare Members Continue to Grow Nature at Sailors Grave Brewery
Marlo Landcare members Gabby and Chris Moore are proving that environmental restoration and business development can go hand in hand.
Over recent years, the Moore family has transformed a former farm paddock between Marlo and Cape Conran into the popular Sailors Grave Brewery and "The Little Drift" accommodation. Alongside the development has come a strong commitment to restoring the surrounding landscape, creating an environment that is welcoming for both visitors and wildlife.
This week, with the assistance of volunteers from Marlo Landcare and Far East Victoria Landcare, another stage of the restoration project was completed. Volunteers planted a Firewise shelterbelt between The Little Drift cabins and the brewery, featuring local native species including Lilly Pilly, Kurrajong, Muttonwood, Blue Olive Berry and Lomandra. The shelterbelt will provide shade, reduce wind, enhance the landscape, attract birds and contribute to bushfire resilience.

Why Do Landowners Plant Trees in Jarrahmond?
The answer, of course, is for a multitude of reasons.
Some are personal — improving the view from the house or creating a place for children to explore and enjoy nature. Others are practical, such as reducing waterlogging in wet areas or slowing drying winds across paddocks to better protect cattle and pasture. Increasingly, landowners are also recognising the long-term environmental and financial benefits that trees can provide.
