Did you know there’s so much useful information on the Corangamite Catchment Management Authority's (CCMA) NRM Planning Portal which can help you make informed decisions about your property, be it a farm or a town block.
Information such as:
· Soil type
·      Vegetation
· Water flow and flooding
·      And even a fascinating 1945 map of the Bellarine, amongst much other information.
AND the portal allows you to print off a property report.
CCCMA's Chris Pitfield will join us to explain the CCMA NRM Portal and how to use it.
He’ll talk about a newly launched project particularly close to his heart, the Floristic Mapping Units, which allows a detailed understanding of the plants which would have originally grown on your property and across the Bellarine.
As President of Friends of Ocean Grove Nature Reserve Chris will also update us on this special place.
This session is part of our Victorian Landcare Grant 2024. ALL WELCOME

Join Conservation Volunteers Australia at Edwards Point Wildlife Reserve to help restore the last remaining stand of coastal woodland on the Bellarine Peninsula. We're teaming up with the Friends of Edwards Point for a day of weed extraction, followed by morning tea and the chance to explore the stunning flora of the reserve.
The Two Bays Lookout provides visitors with breath taking views of both Port Phillip and Swan Bay, where you can discover remote beaches that are home to resident and migratory wader birds. The reserve is a Ramsar site and an international flyway, making it an incredibly significant location to protect and conserve.
Look forward to seeing you there!
