Toomuc Landcare

Toomuc Valley is located on the south east edge of the Melbourne suburban area. It is unique in that while it is only minutes from the urban sprawl, it remains the home to many types of native flora and fauna. Toomuc Landcare is involved not only in the replanting of native vegetation and the removal of weeds but also in the monitoring and maintenance of native wildlife. Its greatest attribute is its community involvement.

You too can be involved.

The mammal survey conducted by the Field Naturalists Club of Victoria on the 10th 11th and 12th Feb. was a fantastic success! Results and photos have been posted. Look under Fauna and under Gallery!
