The South Gippsland Landcare Network (SGLN) submitted a community partnership program, which commenced in February 2007.
This project focuses on building community capacity to extend the current blackberry control programs undertaken by SGLN over the past eight years, and specifically target two areas where the community have identified an increasing need to address blackberry control. These areas have previously been problematic due to steep and hilly geographic conditions, lack of resources, absentee landholders and the movement of new landholders into the area.
