ECOSS receive grant to keep the doors open



Yarra Valley ECOSS have received a $10,000 grant to fund the State Government’s Partnership Against Pests Workshops and Seminars.

This project aims to increase community-led capacity to manage established invasive species.

Through two targeted seminars and four community workshops local landowners, farmers, Landcare members, environmental groups, and Traditional Owner representatives will gain access to expert knowledge and practical tools.

These events will build participants’ skills in strategic planning, risk management, and implementation of pest control strategies.

Workshops will focus on collaborative learning and leave participants with property-specific action plans and practical resources.
