Rutherglen Landcare Group The Rutherglen Landcare group aims to help landholders, of all shapes and sizes, care for our land.

We want to protect and improve our local reserves, our farms, and our backyards, to care for our native environment and ourselves. Our group aims to help local landholders care for their land. We want to see productive farms and healthy soils, in a truly Australian landscape of iconic gums and ecosystems supporting native wildlife in the long term. As a group, we support the environment through:
•

Community education by engaging expert speakers, holding workshops and farm walks.
• Providing subsidized native plants, fox baits and occasionally w**d control for our members.
• Obtaining funds for specific environmental works highlighted by members.
• Organizing volunteering days for w**d and pest control, revegetation planting or other environmental works.
• Wildlife and nest box monitoring. Our events are a great chance for socializing and meeting new people. Why not join our page and find out about events that may interest you, or better still join our group and be part of your local environmental movement. Some of the threatened animals and plants in our area that need everyone’s support to survive
• Grey Crowned Babbler
• Brolga

Hello everyone,
Wetlands for Wildlife field day is on this Sunday, the 19th July.

Wear waterproof shoes or gumboots as we walk near the wetlands, and a hat as looks like it is going to be a fine day.

After all the beautiful rain, plantings from a few weeks ago should be well settled in and the newly made ponds brimming full.

Hope to see you there.
10.00 am Sunday 19th July 2026
at Somerville’s, Kilborne Rd, Wahgunyah.

We will have a sign up showing where to park, it will be past the house and near the sheds.

All welcome so bring along your family and friends and find out how to make your wetland or garden more wildlife friendly.

Finally go rid of this prickly pear on the MV Hwy west of Rutherglen. It looks innocuous but took a fair bit of getting into 3 large bags. Seeing the fruit buds on it triggered the action.

Wetland planting takes a team of people with a variety of skills and a whole lot of heart. Well done to everyone who crafted a tree guard, dug a hole, popped a plant out of the tray, mastered a tree planting device, made a slice or poured a cup of tea. Ann Maree and Paul Sommerville are grateful for the support they received today as they continue to prioritise for sustainable farming practices.
