The river and the ridges have keepers.
Two partner organisations look after the catchment we share. Here’s who they are, what they do, and how to lend a hand.
Our partners
Two organisations, one catchment.
The Hub points visitors and members to these groups whenever the conversation turns to landcare, river health, or rolling up sleeves.
Yarra Ranges Landcare Network
Community stewardship across the Yarra Valley & Dandenong Ranges.
A community-based, not-for-profit network of eight Landcare and ‘Friends of’ groups across the Yarra Ranges Council area.

- Workshops and field days (farm dams, weed control, revegetation)
- Environmental webinars on local issues
- Citizen science projects, including the DeerScan App
- Coordinating and supporting eight local Landcare groups
