The Ribbons of Blue, Sashes of Green Project focuses on the box woodlands and ironbark forests found across the central area of the Goulburn Broken Catchment. Box woodlands are generally found in more fertile areas (where about 3-5% remnant vegetation remains) while ironbark forests are found mostly in large forested public land reserves (where more than 50% remnant vegetation remains).
The alliance comprises Euroa Arboretum (lead organisation), Strathbogie Ranges CMN and Longwood Plains CMN with the Facilitator funding, through the Victorian Government, running for three years from 2021/22 to 2023/24.
This 7.5 hectare site involves creating a 30 metre corridor on private land that adjoins a 40 metre section of Angle Road that has large old trees with a native understorey so the total width of conservation corridor will be 70 metres.
The Linking Landscapes and Communities project works with landowners, community groups, Traditional Owners and scientists to improve the condition of the threatened Grey Box Grassy Woodlands and Derived Native Grasslands vegetation communities.
