A big thank you to all those who attended the Black Range Land Management Group AGM (Annual General Meeting) on the 9th November 2024. We had a great turnout, with 12 members, a few special guests from the Mt Korong EcoWatch and Trust For Nature, and we were even joined by a curious couple from Gippsland!
Come and catch up with other landholders, join a walk and talk into the rising Black Range granite country, enjoy conversation with our guests from Mt Koorong EcoWatch over a shared picnic lunch, get an update on our projects, borrow a Reading Fire Country book from our share library, and pick up some high vis flags for marking rabbit warrens & invasive plants. Bring a plate to share, a chair, and drinks. Join as much or little as you like. All welcome.

New fencing and gates into private property are being installed across Black Range to improve land management and communicate the boundary between public roads and private property. There is no access to private property or Black Range Reserves for Trail Bikes and 4WD.
The website provides open access to resources and shared information of use to Black Range landholders, regional landcare and conservation networks, and the broader community.
BushBank is a $30.9 million State Government program that aims to re-vegetate and restore at least 20,000 hectares of native habitat across private land in Victoria.
The plan is designed to provide an objective and logical framework with identified priorities of the BRLMG to develop and implement coordinated and effective Invasive Plant & Animal (IPA) management programs.
It's that time of year again! Time to renew your annual membership with our land management group, and to those of you who have not previously been a member, to welcome you to the group.
