Almost 70 community members came together to build and paint nest boxes, helping provide much-needed habitat for wildlife across the Longwood fire ground.

Up2Us joined Landcarers from across Victoria for three days of learning, networking and inspiration at the 2026 Victorian Landcare Forum in Pakenham.

A wonderful workshop exploring the 12 principles of permaculture and the many connections between working with nature, resilient landscapes and Landcare.

Huge thanks to the Howqua Valley Landcare member who spotted this, checked their cameras, and thought to share it.

Expressions of Interest are now open for the first three 2027 Landcare Extension training opportunities through the Scaling Success Program. Explore the upcoming programs in Echuca, Benalla and Euroa, with more dates to be announced soon.

This session was all about infill planting — filling the gaps among the seedlings put in during last year's National Tree Day.

Up2Us recently teamed up with AusNet and Zinfra for a corporate working bee, where teams from both organisations joined the Up2Us crew to build and paint 160 habitat boxes.

There's a bit of a catch at the heart of a recent ABC Science article by Peter de Kruijff: fire is both the thing that saves some of our wildflowers and the thing that can wipe them out. It all comes down to timing, and climate change is messing with the clock.

Our new donation page enables the community to directly support local tree planting, nest box installation, and nature education programs.

The results of the 2026 National Landcare Week Survey have put some numbers around something many of us involved in Landcare already know: Landcare is good for people as well as the environment.

Discover how the 12 principles of permaculture can help us create more resilient, productive and sustainable gardens and properties — and find out how you can explore them at our upcoming workshop.

This National Landcare Week, we're celebrating a year of revegetation, nest box builds, weed control and community learning across Mansfield Shire — and the volunteers and groups who make it all happen.

Right now an interesting orchid group is putting on a show. The greenhoods are flowering, and if you know where to look, they're well worth seeking out on your next bushwalk.

Australia already has a long list of threatened and declining woodland birds. For a species already down to small, fragmented populations, mass mortality on a seabird colony scale isn't required to do real damage; even scattered losses can matter when numbers are already thin on the ground.

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.
