Taking Root & Branching Out

Do you want to support the natural environments of Djaara Country on Mount Alexander Shire to survive and thrive? Not sure where to start, or if a community Landcare group would be your cup of tea?

Come and experience, ‘Taking Root in Barkers Creek’ - an immersive soundwork about whether or not a community group can make a difference to the health of the natural landscape. Told through the story of a local landcare group, the documentary explores the environmental damage left by the 1850s goldrush - and how to fix it.

The show will be followed by a sticky supper and a lively discussion about the Barkers Creek Landcare and Wildlife Groups ambitious plan to restore the bush – and what you can do to love our local natural environment before it’s too late

This unique event brought to you by Barkers Creek Landcare and Wildlife Group and Connecting Country. With support from Biolinks Alliance, The Victorian Landcare Program, North Central Catchment Management Authority, Ian and Shirley Norman Foundation, Mount Alexander Shire Council, The Good Op Shop and Kyla Brettle Podcasts
