Long Forest Flora & Fauna Reserve
River Flats Project
An on-going project that commenced over 10 years ago.
Planting on the flats
Serrated tussock is a serious weed in the area.
Double guarding
Since 2019 we have been experimenting with double guarding our plantings.
Fenced plots
Werribee Gorge State Park
Yellow Gum Valley Project
A project to rehabilitate a degraded valley in the northern section of Werribee Gorge State Park.
On going works
Double guarding and companion planting
We are trialling the use of an outer wire guard, an inner milk carton guard and a eucalypt planted with a fragrant saltbush.
Partnerships
We have hosted students from Myrniong Primary School for annual planting days at this site.
Meikles Point Discovery Walk Project
A paddock at the southern end of Meikles Point Picnic Area has been degraded by past farming practices. In 2021, FOWGLFM received a grant from the Moorabool Shire Council to construct an all-abilities path in the area, with seating, plantings and interpretive signage. There are significant challenges from degraded soil, weeds, rabbits, kangaroos, wandering stock and even the odd 4WD!
All-abilities walk
The project aims to provide a short, instructive walk for all fitness levels.
Restoring habitat
As revegetation works continue, the walk will become a place of quiet reflection for all visitors.
Seating
We have recently installed two seats along the trail.
