Waterways and Wildlife
Macedon and Mt Macedon Landcare group (that’s us) have identified seven stretches of creek that run through or back onto private land in and around Macedon and Mt Macedon, and that link up with each other or areas of crown land. We want to work with the landholders in these areas, and Melbourne Water, who offer generous grants for waterway restoration, to regenerate our creeks.
We commissioned a report from ecologist Geordie Scott Walker that looks in more detail at each of these seven areas, so that we can approach the restoration strategically and scientifically.
The Science of our Waterways Plan
If you live on a waterway in our area, you are probably eligible for a grant from Melbourne Water for weeding, planting and pest control. Our Landcare group is also willing to help with restoration work along creeklines on private property. Learn more. ant which will help have created a document that explores the lay of the land, each of the seven creeks in our landcare area, and the challenges for wildlife and water that we want to address to support regeneration.
