What, Why, Where, When & How of Revegetation Post Bushfire

The What, Why, Where, When & How of Revegetation Post Bush-fire project is a region-wide project. Through this project, Far East Victoria Landcare has developed a new and improved Revegetation Guide for fire-effected areas of East Gippsland which is based on the guide originally produced by the Upper Goulburn Landcare Network after the 2009 fires. The guide has been developed to provide landholders with practical advice and guidelines to allow them to make informed decisions on species selection and how, when and where to plant, and even whether to plant at all, on fire-affected land.

The guide is free to landholders and can be collected from the Landcare office in Orbost. If you’re not in the area and would like one mailed to you, don’t hesitate to contact us and ask for a copy to be sent to you! project.officer@fevl.org.au

FEVL is also running workshops around best practice revegetation, post-fire succession, mental health and wellbeing, insectaries, planting to encourage pollinators and more. These workshops will cover topics of interest to both the gardener and small and large landholders and focus on improving biodiversity in bushfire affected areas.

This project is supported by the East Gippsland Catchment Management Authority with funding from the Victorian Government’s Biodiversity Bushfire Recovery Grants.
