Fungal restoration in the Mallee

Friends of Mallee Conservation exists to “Create a community built around the restoration of habitat in the Mallee and beyond”. We are based in the north-west of Victoria where it is hot and dry. Revegetation in this environment is difficult so we are always seeking new techniques that can be applied in the bush to repair our broken landscapes. We have recently been on a journey exploring how better “soil health” may help improve the success of revegetation.

We are excited to invite you to join us for a three-part webinar learning about the role of fungi in our environment, techniques using fungi to restore landscapes, and exploring how this can be applied in the one of the toughest environments – the Mallee. 

Our partners are:

MYCOmmunity - We aim to increase community awareness about fungi and support citizen mycology.

Fungi4Land - Our guide will focus on integrating fungi into current management tool kits. We know that healthy bushlands are resilient due to the myriad of interactions between our animals, fungi, plants and microbes.

This project is funded by the Victorian Government through a Landcare grant from the Mallee CMA.
