Bushland Watch Program

Over the past 200 years, much of Mildura’s natural bushland has been cleared for farming and development. This has left only small areas of native vegetation, which are now home to many plants and animals that were once common across our region. To keep our environment healthy and diverse, we need to protect these remaining areas.

The Bushland Watch Program helps protect native trees, shrubs, and grasses from threats.
