Raymond Island Landcare Group – Caring for Our Island’s Natural Beauty

At the Raymond Island Landcare Group, we passionately work with our local community. Together, we protect and enhance Raymond Island’s unique environment. Our group consists of dedicated residents who collaborate with government bodies. We partner closely with Parks Victoria and the Gunaikurnai to rejuvenate and sustain the island’s natural beauty. Whether we remove invasive plants, plant new vegetation, or create wildlife corridors, our mission is to keep Raymond Island thriving for future generations.

Our Environmental Efforts on Raymond Island

As part of the Raymond Island Landcare Group, we focus on improving public land areas. We implement careful planning and consistent action. With approximately 14 project sites spread across the island, we strive to transform degraded areas into lush, healthy ecosystems. Our latest project, spanning 19 acres, is our most ambitious yet. This new site will connect to other revitalised areas. Together, we will create an essential wildlife corridor for the island’s many species. We’re excited to see the benefits of these efforts as they support biodiversity and attract more native wildlife.

Community Involvement and Activities

Our group wouldn’t thrive without the involvement of our wonderful members. They are dedicated to making a difference in our community. With approximately 70 members, about one-third are active in various hands-on activities throughout the year. We host monthly meetings where we discuss ongoing projects and welcome new ideas. In addition, we participate in larger events, such as Clean Up Australia Day. These events help keep Raymond Island clean and green. We’re always looking for more members to join us in our mission. If you’re passionate about conservation, we’d love to hear from you.
