For five years North East, West Gippsland, and East Gippsland Catchment Management Authorities have worked with Parks Victoria and the Australian Government along with experts and volunteers in a cross-regional partnership to protect fragile Alpine peatlands. The work involved invasive species control, weed management, research and monitoring.
Acting East Gippsland CMA CEO Amber Clarke said this cross-regional project focussed on improving the resilience of the fragile peatlands to protect and enhance these unique environments.
To mark the completion of this five-year Cross Regional Victorian Alpine Peatlands Protection project, North East CMA has released a video.
