A large regeneration project coordinated by North East CMA for the Livingstone Creek in Omeo Valley is planned for November.
The "Bringing back the Maccas to Livingstone Creek" project is funded by Nature Fund (Vic. Government) and supports other rehabilitation works recently completed by Greening Australia. There are 40,000 native plants which will be planted along crown frontage areas along Livingstone Creek. The planting will regenerate 17 kilometres of critical Macquarie Perch habitat, from the top of Omeo Valley to the junction with Mitta River (Hinnomunjie bridge).
Volunteers (age 16+) are invited to be involved with tree planting over the two weeks and spend the afternoons enjoying the river. Members from the Australian Trout Foundation, Omeo Angling Club, Benambra Angling Club, Friends of the Mitta River, Landcare, Bairnsdale Fly Fishing Club and Government agencies will be supporting the planting. Every tree and shrub planted by a volunteer saves approximately $4.00 per tree, which means far more trees can be planted in total.
