Dabyminga Landcare Incorporated
Dabyminga catchment, Tallarook ranges country
About the group
Dabyminga Landcare grew out of the Tallarook and Reedy Creek Landcare groups, which joined forces as the Dabyminga Catchment Cooperative so they could pool their equipment, share what they knew and get more done together. Anyone who lives or owns land in the Dabyminga catchment can join, which takes in Tallarook, Broadford, Reedy Creek and everywhere in between. The group's longest-running work is blackberry control on road reserves, public land and private property, alongside revegetation and the care of the Tallarook Arboretum, a public planting of species that were useful to the Taungurung people. In early 2025 members voted to incorporate, and the group became Dabyminga Landcare Incorporated and a registered charity.
Working bee and meeting every few months, usually a Sunday morning at the Tallarook Arboretum, opposite the Mechanics Institute. AGM in November. Dates go out to members by email.
