Leigh Catchment Group to deliver the $624,000
Scotsburn Phoenix Project to Scotsburn Fire zone.
The Leigh Catchment Group is partnering with the Corangamite Catchment Management Authority to restore and revegetate the Scotsburn bushfire affected area. The Victorian Government has provided a grant of $624,000 to assist the group to work with affected landholders in Scotsburn.
Corangamite CMA Chairman Alice Knight said that the Corangamite regional Landcare program and the Leigh Catchment Group have already provided much needed assistance and support to property owners impacted by fires last season.
LCG Chairperson Andrea Mason, said “Our Landcare network is a community based organisation which has delivered natural resource and community projects into the area since 1999. We have the expertise and ongoing commitment to deliver this important project into our community.”
