In Spring 2024, We Love the Tarwin partnered with local landholders and volunteers to plant over 800 indigenous seedlings along a degraded section of the lower Tarwin River. The planting focused on restoring riparian vegetation to stabilise banks, filter runoff and provide habitat for platypus, frogs and native fish.
Species planted included Swamp Paperbark (Melaleuca ericifolia), Swamp Gum (Eucalyptus ovata), Tall Sedge (Carex appressa) and various native rushes and reeds suited to the wet riparian zone.
This project was funded through the SGLN Biodiversity Protection Program.
