Connecting Country

Connecting Country is a community-based organisation whose long-term objective is to connect people and landscapes to achieve a sustainable and healthy environment. It is our vision for the people of the Mount Alexander region of central Victoria to be proud of the beautiful, productive, healthy and diverse landscapes, habitats, forests, waterways, flora and fauna that we have supported and created.

Connecting Country’s operations are based on four key elements;
• On ground works to increase and enhance native vegetation and habitat through grazing change, revegetation, and pest plant and animal control.
• Community engagement through education events, an active website and volunteer involvement.
• The implementation of a long-term shire-wide annual monitoring program for birds, arboreal mammals and vegetation.
• Providing support for our 30 local Landcare and Friend groups.
