Successful grant application
Bulgandramine Mission is significant to the Peak Hill Aboriginal Community.
The initial huts have long gone but a shed with kitchen and toilet facilities was built in the last several years. The area is overgrown with weeds including Boxthorn and Galvanised Burr making the area largely inaccessible.
The project is for the control these weeds and encourage native grasses to regenerate so that the area can be utilised as a meeting place for the Peak Hill Aboriginal community. This would allow the community to better access, the children to play and learn about the history of the site while the elder community can meet and talk.
Biodiversity Resilient Landscapes on farm opportunities In 2011 and 2012 the Lachlan CMA will be working across the catchment to increase the knowledge of habitat values, assist land managers identify and plan habitat improvements and provide future assistance for vegetation and natural regeneration works. The Lachlan CMA has support available for projects that will increase connectivity through individual paddock trees and clusters. Interested land managers can request a CMA officer to visit their property, identify and plan achievable habitat improvements.Information can be provided on
