Revegetation isn't just about the plants you put in the ground. It's also about protecting and celebrating what's already there — including the small, extraordinary things that are easy to walk straight past.

By the end of this planting season, almost 400 indigenous grasses, shrubs, and trees will have been established across the property — a significant investment in the land that will pay dividends for decades to come.

As part of the thirtieth National Tree Day, (Sunday July 27) Up2Us gathered the troops and turned up at Paxton’s Reserve (end of Paxton’s Lane near the Buller Road) with lots of trees (500) and lots of people of all sizes (60?).

The Mansfield Men's Shed has partnered with Up2Us Landcare Alliance to build nest boxes destined for these fire-scarred landscapes, giving displaced wildlife somewhere safe to shelter and breed while the bush slowly regenerates.

The Victorian Government is continuing its $146.5 million Drought Support Package, helping farmers and rural communities move into recovery and plan for the seasons ahead.

Mansfield Primary's grade five students got hands-on with local wildlife this week, spotting possums in nest boxes, a sleeping brushtail in a natural hollow, and even a mystery hatched egg, all part of a hands-on lesson in why tree hollows matter.

On their way up to a few days on Mt Stirling, Frankston High School's VCE Outdoor Education students made a worthwhile stop at Mullum Wetlands, where our Up2Us team was waiting to give the Year 11 and 12 cohort a hands-on introduction to Landcare in action.

Four days. All the trees. All the shrubs. Most of the grasses. That's no small feat, and it speaks to just how achievable revegetation can be when landholders have the right support behind them.

Up2Us has received funding to partner with seven Landcare networks, scaling up a proven training model across the Goulburn Broken and Ovens Murray regions to equip 150 tertiary students with hands-on skills in natural asset farming and drought resilience.

This winter's issue of Victorian Landcare and Catchment Management magazine is a special one, marking 40 years since Landcare began in Victoria back in 1986.

This year, four-year-old groups from Mansfield Kindergartens Earth Kinder program joined Up2Us across two sessions to plant and guard 60 indigenous plants along a dedicated patch beside the Earth Kinder site.

Upper Goulburn Landcare Network is calling for volunteers to help with Fencers Without Boundaries, their fire recovery fencing project supporting landowners in the Murrindindi and Mansfield Shires affected by the Longwood Fires.

Last week we had the privilege of visiting Karlindy, a 136-acre property that is five years into an inspiring revegetation journey — and the results are truly extraordinary.

Landholders across our Mansfield community are protecting the next generation of paddock trees — and the hundreds of species that depend on them.

Up2Us joins Mansfield Steiner School students for another round of roadside revegetation along Monkey Gully Road.

Learn how a local partnership between Up2Us and Earth Kinder is inspiring young children to explore, learn from, and care for the natural world.

There's no getting around it — planting large numbers of trees and shrubs by yourself across rocky, hilly country is hard work. But it doesn't have to be as hard as you might think.

On Thursday 4th June, Up2Us hosted a soil health webinar featuring Dr Cassandra Schefe, who delivered an informative presentation covering a range of important topics, including how to interpret your soil test results, soil health, fertility, structure, and optimising pastures through nutrition.
