Up2Us Landcare Alliance kicked off the last week of the school term with a delightful visit to Mansfield Kindergarten’s Earth Kinder program!

Last Monday, Kim and Rhiannon from Up2Us had the pleasure of attending the Gadhaba Local Aboriginal Network's Meet and Greet Gathering at the Railway Station Precinct in Mansfield. The event, which featured a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony followed by a barbeque dinner, provided a wonderful opportunity to connect with both familiar faces and new community members in a culturally rich setting.

Up2Us Landcare Alliance, alongside local residents, is advocating for stronger planning regulations to protect native trees and vegetation in the Mansfield Shire. Rapid growth in the area has led to increased tree removal, prompting concerns about the loss of remnant vegetation.

This beautiful image of an Eastern Bearded Dragon was taken on a private property in Barjarg. The Eastern Bearded Dragon, once common in the Mansfield region, is now listed as vulnerable in Victoria.
