Big News! A new 3-year project is kicking off across Mount Barker, Goolwa, Port Elliot & Victor Harbor!

Key outcomes of the project include;
Removing invasive weeds
Planting 22,000+ local natives
Creating habitat for the endangered Yarra Pygmy Perch
Establishing tree canopy to reduce evaporation & create microclimates along exposed sections of watercourses
All native seedlings will be grown at community nurseries managed by Second Nature in Mount Barker, Goolwa & Clayton Bay.
This is about creating healthier ecosystems, supporting threatened species, and giving back to nature—right in our urban backyard.
This project is funded by the Australian Government’s Natural Heritage Trust under the Urban Rivers and Catchments Program, with the support of Second Nature Conservancy.
