Revegetation
Since 1993, all Shire revegetation is undertaken by our Revegetation Officer and volunteers, using local provenance plant material propagated through our Revegetation Nursery.

History of our Revegetation Nursery
Over the 30 year tenure of retired Shire Revegetation Officer Mark Parre, more than 40 sites throughout the Shire ranging in size from several 100 square metres up to 15 hectares have been revegetated.
Mark has collected seed from more than 200 species, and used these to propagate and establish more than 700,000 plants. Mark has established many more through direct seeding - all with the help of community.
Mark’s dedication and tireless efforts have lead to the establishment of rehabilitated areas of healthy bushland which provides a habitat for local flora and fauna, while increasing biodiversity.
To celebrate Mark's legacy whilst in his role as Shire Revegetation Officer, a short film 'Bushland Healer' has been produced by Earthrise Productions showcasing the fantastic work that Mark has been able to achieve through his revegetation efforts healing the bush.
