Landcare helps to save local species from extinction

Two beautiful little creatures are on the brink of extinction in the Gunning district.  Most of us would never have seen either one but their loss would make us all the poorer.  That’s why local landcarers are partnering with scientists and experts to help bring back the Southern Pygmy Perch and Yellow-spotted Bell Frog to our waterways and dams.  We have good reason to believe we can succeed.

Blakney Creek/Biala and Jerrawa Creek Landcare Groups are combining forces to form Gunning District Landcare, a new organisation offering help and support to all landowners, large and small, in the Gunning district.  We will kick off 2016 with a series of workshops, seminars and field days focussing on how we can improve the health and resilience of our local water resources.
