Steels Creek Landcare Group

Established in 2004, Steels Creek Landcare Group supports members in their efforts to care for their land and the surrounding area, focusing on key land management issues and planning actions to tackle them in the Steels Creek Landcare area. The area is a unique mix of land uses including rural lifestyle, agricultural, conservation, and urban fringe properties on the northern edge of Yarra Glen. We encourage landholders to work together to solve problems on their land, often through coordinated action across a number of properties.

Dixons Creek Landcare Group

Formed in 2012, Dixons Creek Landcare Group assists local landowners care for their land and increase biodiversity. We run educational workshops and seminars, working bees, manage a volunteers program, and provide information and resources for our members. We are an active part of the Northern Yarra Landcare Network, and work proactively with the other groups within the Network (Chum Creek & Steels Creek) to share events and resources.

Chum Creek Landcare Group

Formed in 2013, Chum Creek Landcare Group is a community group to assist local landowners care for their land and increase biodiversity. The Chum Creek Landcare Group consists of people living in or near the Chum Creek catchment (located between Healesville and Toolangi, including Long Gully and Myers Creek) with a shared interest in working to maintain and improve the health of the vegetation, animals, soils, and waterways within the catchment.
