LODDON Plains Landcare Network staff and volunteers are this week wrapping up the planting of 16,000 trees across the region.
The autumn and early winter program has seen trees planted at Calivil, Boort, Durham Ox, Yarrawalla and Auchmore.
More than a dozen volunteers have been part of the program that network facilitator Will Sanson says will compliment and benefit farm productivity and the environment.
“We were fortunate to receive funding through North Central Catchment Management Authority to implement this positive program for our region,” he said.
“Bringing the network and volunteers together planting so many trees in such a short time underscores the value of local community organisations and their commitment to sustainable agriculture.”
