Wildlife in Mitta Valley
Grant Activities
Improve Habitat, Water Quality Grants
Often Grants come up for fencing and revegetation of our waterways, many farms in the Mitta Valley have benefited from revegetating and fencing off waterways which improves habitat, water quality and enhances the environment we live in. Contact MVLG if you have a project you would like assessed.
Grant Funding in Action – Revegetation
We access Grants for projects that our community puts forward. Many farmers have accessed grants for Tree Planting, revegetation of wetlands to stop erosion, attract bird life and improve water quality. This photo was from work done by the Eskdale Primary School Children for National Tree Planting Day which is held in July every year.

Bio Control Action
Dairy Farmer and active Mitta Valley Landcare group member Karen Moroney picking out Patterson Curse on their Snowy Creek Property, this year the Moroneys through the Landcare Facilitator Simon Feillafe, released a BioControl onto the Moroneys farm called a Flea Beetle that attacks the Patterson Curse. It will take a few years to establish.

Grant Activities
The Mitta Valley Landcare Group continually explores ways that it can seek funding from Grants that are offered annually either by the Federal, State and Local Governments or through Philanthropic organisations. Once a project is identified and scoped out, we seek Grant funding to enable the project to proceed. Every Grant has its own guidelines and eligibility criteria. Our aim is to actively care for the land and water assets that sustain us through the various activities that we undertake within our community.
