Cassie Wright, Project Officer, SGLN

Cassie has been working in the NRM field for nineteen years, starting as a ranger where she gained hands-on practical experience. For the last thirteen years she has worked in the South Gippsland and Bass Coast regions, in roles with an education and training and project management focus. Most of these projects have been working with Landcare, with either an NRM or sustainable agriculture focus.

Cassie is passionate about working with people and helping them to protect the natural environment, and has enjoyed working with the SGLN community (since December 2018) delivering the following projects:
Smart Farming for Westernport
Corner Inlet citizen science water quality improvement project
Threatened invertebrates
Growing Southern Gippsland (climate change adaptation)
Enhancing Soil Biology

South Gippsland Landcare Network

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work and meet. The South Gippsland Landcare Network stretches from Mt Best to Mt Lyal, and along the prom coast. It’s made up of 16 local groups working to preserve and protect the natural environment, while also enhancing the long-term sustainability of farming in this part of Victoria. We’re proud to work across both Bunurong and Gunaikurnai country, and to recognise the rich history embedded in this land we now share. As a network, we’re a diverse group – made up of primary producers, hobby farmers, tree changers, backyard gardeners and environmentalists of all sorts. This page is part of our community, so we welcome feedback and input from anyone who’s interested in having a voice here.

Such an awesome collaboration between West Gippsland Catchment Management Authorityand Agnes River Landcare Group

West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority

To work 'whole of catchment' it pays to think both big AND small. Big, because catchments often are big, and small because working on many smaller projects within the catchments can bring big changes...both environmentally and socially, for a whole community.

Through Regional Riparian Action Plan funding from the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning we've worked with Landcare groups and networks - right across the region.

What's happening in your network in April

Hand removal is only recommended for very small plants, ensure the root system is removed and the disturbed area is covered over with mulch to reduce spread of other weeds.
