Gippslandscapes Podcasts
Gippslandscapes is an occasional podcast, full of great conversations and stories of inspiring people doing their bit to improve their patch for a healthier catchment.
Podcast #77 – The superpower of trees
It’s true that tree-loving is infectious and in this special podcast episode for National Tree Day we hear all about the superpower of trees with two tree-loving experts Matt Bowler and Richard (Richie) Allen from the CMA who’ve collectively planted over a million seedlings across the West Gippy catchment in their work restoring and protecting rivers.
Richie, Matt and the CMA team are hard at work planting the next generation of trees next to Old Hat Creek – trees that will work hard to give homes for wildlife and help to keep stabilise banks and keep the waterway flowing, ultimately improving water quality downstream in Corner Inlet.
Podcast #76 – Hope for Hoodies
There’s a whole lotta plover love in this episode of the Gippslandscapes podcast, when we chat with Hooded Plover guru Kasun Ekanayake from BirdLife Australia.
We talk about the plight of the plover, their tenacity in raising chicks on busy summer beaches and how devoted volunteers like David Hartney from Friends of the Hooded Plover – Bass Coast and South Gippsland, are helping to save the species from extinction by protecting their vulnerable nests and chicks from threats of people, pets and predators.
Podcast #75 – ‘People & partnerships: highlights of 2024’
Join us on the banks of Screw Creek estuary on beautiful Bunurong Country for a chat with our very own CEO, Martin Fuller as he reflects on the highlights of 2024 and shares some of the exciting initiatives in store for the CMA in 2025.
