Warrnambool Coastcare Landcare Network is a non-profit, volunteer based nature conservation and sustainable agriculture organisation.
We work with traditional owners, landholders, community groups, government and non-government agencies to:
Improve biodiversity in Warrnambool and the wider region, and
Inform, advocate and act for the protection of our natural environment
Some of our projects are long term, such as our Middle Island Penguin (and Shearwater) Project. Others are shorter term, for example over the years we have done many tree planting projects where planting takes place one year, followed by 2+ years of follow up maintenance. Every year we take on new challenges!
This world famous project that the oddball movie was based on protects Little Penguins and Short Tail Shearwaters.
We have been running tree planting projects for decades, revegetating Warrnambool’s urban areas, regional reserves and farms.
We love to share our knowledge of the natural environment and involving the public in our activities.
We support and partner with a number of ‘friends of’ and landcare-type groups in Warrnambool and the region.
We regularly contribute to government plans and we advocate for better protection and improvement of our natural environment.
From tree planting to monitoring the Middle Island penguin and shearwater colonies to a range of citizen science and education activities, our members and many other volunteers have actively changed Warrnambool and the region for the better. Anyone can take part in our activities for as much or as little time as they want.
