Threatened Species in South Gippsland

The information here includes a map and spreadsheet of threatened species records in the Victorian Biodiversity Atlas by Landcare Group.  It is a resource for Landcare groups and individuals that would like to know which threatened species have been recorded in their patch.  It might inspire further monitoring or thinking about what these species might need in terms of habitat.

The map shows some of the most commonly occurring species across the SGLN region. These resources have been developed as part of SGLN’s Biodiversity Protection Plan.

Coastal Garden Case Studies

A series of six videos showcasing local gardens created using indigenous and native Australian plants. Each gardener shares the stories behind their garden, their plant choices and advice for new gardeners. The videos are especially valuable for people dealing with the challenges of coastal gardens – wind, sandy soils, wind, salt and more wind! They were produced by Tarwin Landcare Group with the assistance of a South Gippsland Shire Council Community Grant.
