We have enjoyed getting back into the swing of face to face events. Most recently we were pleased to share a site with the Ovens Landcare Network at the Eldorado Off-grid Living festival in early April.

Did you attend and get the chance to see the amazing array of resources our joint site had available.

SRR are currently planning and beginning delivery for our "Growing into a climate ready future project". This project will focus on the delivery of a literature review, case studies and a forum all centered around how native vegetation will respond and need support into a change climate future.

The "Growing into a climate ready future" project is supported by the Victorian Government through the climate ready hume project.

It has been great to see some fantastic stories of interactions with faunal in North East Victoria coming in. From birds to Bluetongues the stories are being collated into a booklet which will be available to view later this year.
