Connecting the forest to the lake / Burrumbeet Creek / waterway restoration

Brief description

The restoration and enhancement of Burrumbeet Creek and neighbouring wetlands will provide connectivity between the forests of Invermay, across northern Ballarat to Lake Burrumbeet. Through the control and removal of pest plants and the restoration of native vegetation, Burrumbeet Creek will provide increased habitat values for local birds, improved water quality and greater connectivity in the landscape. This project will bring together the efforts of 4 Landcare groups and provide enhanced opportunities for community participation in seed collection and tree planting events. Furthermore, this project will provide long lasting opportunities for tree planting through the collection and storage of seeds with Seeding Victoria.
