Earthcare Park Landcare group has been in existence since 1995 with a vision of rehabilitating an endangered remnant spotted gum and ironbark forest. The area we manage is leased crown land of some 35Ha and includes a section of the greater Tenambit wetland where approximately 60,000 trees have been planted.
The Landcare group conducts monthly working bees where tree maintenance, tree and grass planting and special interest events occur. The wetland frog pond was recently found to harbour many turtle nests and has since been identified as a turtle nesting “hot spot”, so the group has been working to enhance turtle habitat with the help of the 1 Million Turtles Community Conservation Program.
