The Bairnsdale Urban Landcare Group Inc was formed in 1999 to improve and revegetate the degraded banks and environs of the Mitchell River through Bairnsdale.
In this time the group has removed exotic weeds and planted more than 15,000 indigenous plants that create habitat birds, insects and reptiles. The Mitchell River runs into the Ramsar listed Gippsland Lakes so the river health is vitally important to the lakes and to the local wildlife. Bairnsdale Urban Landcare Group focuses its activities on restoring the Mitchell River Environs to a natural state allowing for native habitat to be re-established, allow native vegetation to regenerate and revegetate where necessary.
