Mitchell Shire's biodiversity, S26 Ep13

Marie chats with Michael Watson from the upper Plenty  Merri Creek Landcare Group about the enormous diversity across Mitchell Shire. We look at the various different environments that are represented across the Shire.

 

There are particular issues affecting the  areas from the high level of development in much of the south to the need to protect organisms in the forests and farmlands. They also discuss the issues that Council will be examining in their biodiversity plan.

 

There are also plans for recreational tracks and parks in the Shire, including the wallan wallan and Bald Hill to Merri Creek parklands.
