Caring for Our Land Together
Join our community of landholders working to protect and enhance the Steels Creek catchment through coordinated action and shared knowledge.
The Steels Creek Catchment
The Steels Creek Landcare area includes all land within the Steels Creek catchment, excluding National Park and State Forest. It is a diverse landscape made up of agricultural properties, rural-living blocks, conservation land, and urban-fringe homes on the northern edge of Yarra Glen.
Working together has proven to be one of the most effective ways to manage landcare issues. We encourage neighbours to collaborate on shared problems, often coordinating activities across multiple properties for greater impact.
Rural residents of the Yarra Glen area are warmly encouraged to join. Our information sessions, workshops, and community activities are designed for landholders of all sizes — from small hobby farms and rural-living blocks through to larger grazing and agricultural properties.

Members planted 800 native trees and shrubs along Steels Creek waterways across 3 properties, improving bank stability and wildlife habitat.
Farm Dam Restoration
Fencing of farm dams to exclude stock, followed by revegetation of dam margins with rushes and sedges to filter runoff and create frog habitat.
Blackberry Blitz
Coordinated spray program targeting invasive blackberries across 8 neighbouring properties — far more effective than individual efforts alone.
