Recently our Facilitator in collaboration with the Jindivick Landcare visited local schools as part of the 'Hunt for the Giants' Trees project. This project focused on highlighting the impotence of our old growth trees and the significance they hold for our native animals, farm animals, soil, air, water and of course US!
Collaborating with local schools was a key part of this project. Incursions were completed at 5 local schools where students learned how important trees are while getting some hands on experience looking for Arboreal creatures in trees at their school. In this tree we found evidence of nesting birds. Jindivick Landcare will be hosting a showcase event to reveal the biggest tree as part of the hunt for big trees in our paddocks, bushland and roadsides.
the project is supported by the Victorian Government through the Victorian Landcare Grants.
