Enjoy a morning out at a local BushBank restoration project near you!
Join us for a ‘Walk and Talk’ at a private property in Wooragee to learn how we’re transforming landscapes and supporting biodiversity on private land. You’ll hear directly from Cassina Environmental, project partners & local contractors and see the revegetation efforts firsthand.
What is BushBank?
The Victorian Government’s $77 million BushBank Program is restoring more than 20,000 hectares of land across Victoria to create healthy wildlife habitat and capture carbon. The majority of work is taking place on private land through partnerships with private landowners.
It’s the most ambitious environmental restoration program in Victoria’s history.
About the project
This Wooragee property, just out of Beechworth, has been a labour of love for the landowners for over a decade. Since 2011, they’ve been revegetating the site and reducing grazing to make their land more hospitable to species like the critically endangered Swift Parrot and Regent Honeyeater. In 2025, they applied for the BushBank program to give a boost to their efforts to restore the 59 hectare block.
This year, the site underwent large-scale direct seeding and supplementary planting, delivered in partnership with Cassinia and co-funded by Greenfleet. The land will be restored primarily to Valley Grassy Forest and Grassy Dry Forest and protected by a Trust for Nature conservation covenant.
If you’re a member of the local community, a landowner interested in boosting biodiversity on your property or simply passionate about our wildlife, we invite you to join us at this Walk & Talk where you’ll:
- Witness successful revegetation models in action
- Understand the vital conservation work happening in your local region
- Find out how you can take action on your property to make a difference
- Explore opportunities to partner with BushBank for a project of your own
Note: Attendance at this event is limited to 25 people.
This event is hosted by Cassinia Environmental, the major delivery partner for the BushBank program – Private Land Stream and Wooragee Landcare Group Inc, and is part of the Spring into Bushbank! event series.
