Celebrating 30 years of the Ovens Landcare Network

---

The celebration at Oxley Shire Hall last month (March 2025) brought together past Committee members, past and present Landcare Facilitators, current representatives from member groups and a number of staff from the North East Catchment Management Authority.

A brief address by David Griffiths and Ken Gaudion about the initial establishment of the group came as a surprise to some – the Network formed to support the establishment of a nursery in 1992 to grow native plants for local Landcare Groups. 

The Ovens Landcare Network was one of the first Networks to be established in the North East, the Network continues to thrive and is looking forward to a productive future.
