Landcare

Friends of Austinville Valley work closely with Austinville Landcare.   Austinville Landcare has been carrying out weed management, tree planting and habitat restoration in the valley for 17 years.  

As well as monthly field days involving up to 30 volunteers, they have raised over a million dollars in grants and have restored large sections of the 17 km riparian zone of the valley.   This includes over 5km of critically endangered sub-tropical lowland rainforest.  In 2018 Austinville Landcare was recognised for this work by receiving the inaugural 2018 Healthy Land and Water “Healthy Habitat” Award.
