Revegetation and Regeneration of a Lakeside Section of Blackburn Lake Sanctuary

Blackburn Lake Sanctuary is an area of remnant bushland in suburban Melbourne. This is the first part of a 5 year project to regenerate and revegetate one section in the context of the current Master Plan. A project plan has been developed which includes a previous plant survey, followed by weed management, seed collection, planting, mulching, and promotional activities. The area is a high profile area, with good walking tracks, high historic value, some remnant indigenous vegetation and the capacity to protect other newly planted areas from further weed invasion. A high level of community involvement is assured.
