    Posted on: 13 September 2024

    In a recent nature excursion, a diverse group of 27 environmental enthusiasts gathered on Mt. Vandyke in the heart of the Cobboboonee and Lower Glenelg National Parks. The aim of the day was to immerse participants in the beauty of nature and to highlight the ongoing grassland restoration project which is being implemented by Nature Glenelg Trust.

    The excursion brought together individuals from a wide range of local environmental organizations, united by their shared love for nature and their commitment to conservation. As they ventured into the scenic forest, they were captivated by the breathtaking views and the rich biodiversity of the surrounding areas.

    The excursion provided participants with a unique opportunity to learn about the grassland restoration project at Mt. Vandyke. Expert Ecologist John Bradford from Nature Glenelg Trust shared insights into the challenges and rewards of restoring degraded grasslands and explained the importance of these ecosystems for biodiversity and ecosystem health.

    Beyond the educational aspects, the excursion offered a truly immersive experience. Participants had the chance to connect with nature on a sensory level, enjoying the fresh air, the vibrant colours of the flora, and the soothing sounds of the wildlife.

    The excursion serves as a reminder of the vital role that nature plays in our lives and the importance of preserving our planet’s biodiversity. By supporting grassland restoration projects and engaging in sustainable practices, we can help create a healthier and more resilient future for generations to come.
