Connecting Country

Connecting Country (Mount Alexander Region) Inc is a not-for-profit community group that works to increase, enhance and restore biodiversity across the Mount Alexander region of central Victoria.

Since 2007 we’ve worked with over 250 landholders and community groups to rehabilitate more than 12,000 hectares of habitat for local plants and animals.

Our work is based on four key action areas:

Support Landcare through our Landcare Facilitator and 30 local Landcare and Friends groups.
Restore landscapes through on-ground actions such as protective fencing for existing habitat, revegetation, and weed and pest animal control.
Engage community through environmental education, workshops, information sharing, an informative website, social media and volunteer involvement.
Monitor biodiveristy and landscape health through citizen science with a focus on woodland birds and arboreal mammals.

To restore landscapes and achieve our vision we seek funds from diverse sources and rely on the generosity of many volunteers. Please contact us if you would like to get involved or support our work.
