I recently completed the 10 week Nature Stewards program run by the Victorian National Parks Association in conjunction with my local council. I was lucky enough to be offered a Landcare scholarship to participate in this environmental education short course that is not only about deepening our connection to the natural world but is specifically tailored to understanding the unique regions we call home, in my case the most biodiverse region in the state of Victoria, the Mornington Peninsula shire, which I learnt has over 60+ different ecological vegetation classes (EVCs). Something I love about and have often remarked upon living here and is the sheer array of differing landscapes one can pass through whilst traversing the Peninsula, from grassy woodlands to coastal salt marsh to riparian forest, I now feel an even greater appreciation of and responsibility to care for the land, waterways, flora and fauna that abound in my local landscape.
