Yarra Ranges Landcare Network has produced a short brochure for new residents of the Yarra Ranges Shire. The brochure gives basic information on living with wildlife, protecting our waterways, native vegetation, dealing with weeds, pest animals, fire preparedness and pets & livestock. Thanks to Yarra Ranges Council, Nangana Landcare Network, and Northern Yarra Landcare Network for assistance.

We encourage landowners to apply for funding from Melbourne Water to increase the biodiversity of their land and improve waterways health. Funding can assist with issues such as weed removal, planting of indigenous species, fencing and water points for stock control and prevention of erosion.

Yarra4Life is a collaborative environmental program that aims to improve the quality of land, water and natural habitat in the Yarra Valley and to help protect and enhance the survival of native species in the region.

The program's strength is its ability to bring a range of individuals, groups and organisations together to deliver programs that make tangible environmental improvements, and encourage and educate individuals and businesses about the need to invest in improving the Yarra environment.

Junior Landcare is about encouraging young people to play an active role in ensuring the safe future of their environment.

Launched in May 1998, Junior Landcare recognises that the contribution of young people is vital if the land they are to inherit is to be in the best possible condition. Junior Landcare also encourages young people to develop a sense of responsibility to the land and other natural resources.
