Biodiversity McLaren Vale

Biodiversity McLaren Vale is a joint initiative of local community, industry and government. In simple terms, we remove feral vegetation from creek lines within the McLaren Vale region and replace them with native plant species. We nurture these new seedlings until they are established and then watch, as the new environment flourishes and essential native fauna returns to the area. Yep, it’s pretty satisfying.

Our people are volunteers, who do everything from getting dirt under the fingernails at one of our monthly field days and project management to turning the BBQ and pouring the drinks at a BMV social gathering.
