What's the Green Sheep Project going to deliver? The tools that work to get commercial rewards for the environmental stewardship sheep and farmers are doing on-farm in real-world benefits along the supply chain. @SheepProducers @DCCEEW

Learning in the field: grasslands edition. Last week students from Federation University travelled to Woorndoo as part of their landscape restoration and mine site rehabilitation subject to learn about native grasslands. @latrobe @federationuniversity @DEECA_Vic

Gang-gangs have still got a whole lot to eat! Some followers were worried Gang-gangs Cockatoos in Heywood that seasonally feast on hawthorn trees now removed. Gang-gangs actually eat seeds and fruit from 131 different plants across 25 different plant families! 📷 Dave Nichols

Gorse gone! The long-awaited removal of the mature gorse and hawthorn along the Fitzroy River/Palawarra at Heywood has now been completed after some very efficient work by our contractors! @DEECA_Vic

Join us for the Victorian state launch of the national Green Sheep Project in Woolsthorpe on May 20. Hear from producers and industry representatives, take a farm walk with Midfield Group of Kuleah Farm, learn about the project and it's on-farm delivery. ghcma.vic.gov.au/greensheep

Woody weeds come in all shapes and sizes on our waters, and on Glenaulin Creek that is in the form of the Sycamore maple tree in critically endangered Glenelg Freshwater Mussel habitat. Creekside areas had individual trees identified and treated to stop their regeneration.

Speak directly to someone from the EPA about regulations around effluent at this week's workshop in Koroit. Learn about how to effectively use this nutrient resource already on your farm before paying for more. Details on the CMA website. Book through @DairyAustralia

Gorse be gone! Today the removal of two invasive woody weeds - gorse and hawthorn - begins at Heywood adjacent to the Fitzroy River/Palawarra.

Want to understand how and what the sheep and wool industry supply chain needs and wants in terms of reporting around natural capital by implementing it on your farm and showing others? Our Green Sheep Project is seeking demonstration farms of real-world implementation.

Why woody weeds winding their way around trees take weeks to remove. As part of our woody weed control works there is the challenge if English ivy which has invaded the site, which takes some precision chainsaw work, and some careful chemical application to remove. @DEECA_Vic

Time to plant that grant application by hitting 'submit' on SmartyGrants! Applications for the 2026 Victorian Landcare Grants closed tomorrow (April 23) at 5pm. Details on our website @Landcarevic @DEECA_Vic

Can you be a cocky counter on your farm? Landholders of southwest Victoria and southeast South Australia: Do you have Southeastern Red-tailed Black Cockatoos visiting your troughs, trees and dams? You can log sightings online, or take a wander on May 2. @DCCEEW @BirdlifeOz

Tyrendarra woody weed removal works resume. Weed control works have resumed this week along Killara/Darlot Creek at Tyrendarra with project contractor ArborRowe targeting the masses of Italian Buckthorn, gorse, blackberry, cape broom and ivy on the site.

Dairy farmers: Get a better understanding of how to manage and use your effluent. Wednesday, April 29 in Koroit Details on the website. @Dairy_Australia @DCCEEW

Fish huts vs fish hotels Both of these structures have been installed in southwest waterways to support native fish breeding but what's the difference? Well, size mainly! #healthyrivers #happy fish #getoutdoors #CMAsGetItDone #ontheground #inthewater

Fridays be like *deep sigh* ... but that leg shake 🥰 🥰 #echidna #fridayvibes #funny
