Saving 17 on the VVP

Over three years, this project will establish a sustainable seed source for 17 of the most threatened grassland plants on the Victorian Volcanic Plains and establish 39 new threatened plant populations.

The establishment of the Seed Production Area (SPA) will reduce the need for wild seed collection in the future, reducing the burden on small and vulnerable plant populations.

WATCH NOW: Platycam

Platycam is the world’s only livestream of Platypus in the wild.

It is installed over the Grange Burn in Hamilton in south-west Victoria where a known population of Platypus live.

Can’t spot a platypus? You might see something else like the native ducks, black swans, moor hens, Rakali, fish, turtles and the resident white goose (Gordo).
