Warrnambool Coastcare Landcare Network

Warrnambool Coastcare Landcare Network Inc (WCLN) is part of a nationwide movement of community-based volunteer groups working to repair the natural environment. Our activities cover a region of over 5,600 km2 encompassed by the Warrnambool and Moyne local government areas in the heart of southwest Victoria. We attract volunteers both locally and from across Victoria to work on a diverse range of projects focused on protection of the natural environment, biodiversity and sustainability. We support farmers to implement regenerative agricultural practices and landholders establishing revegetation projects. We foster community participation and education in biodiversity and environmental restoration actions, and advocate for protection of our terrestrial and marine ecosystems. WCLN has a plan to deliver large-scale revegetation across the region, linking existing vegetation from east to west, and north towards the Grampians.
