SUMMARY:BushBank Walk & Talk: Restoration in Wooragee
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a morning out at a local BushBank restoration project near you!\nJoin 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. \nWhat is BushBank? \nThe 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.

In 2025\, they applied for the BushBank program to give a boost to their efforts to restore the 59 hectare block. \nThis 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. \nIf 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: \n\nWitness successful revegetation models in action\nUnderstand the vital conservation work happening in your local region\nFind out how you can take action on your property to make a difference\nExplore opportunities to partner with BushBank for a project of your own\n\nNote: Attendance at this event is limited to 25 people. \nThis 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. \nFor more information about BushBank and the full event schedule\, visit https://cassinia.com/bushbank.
