24.01.2022 Seeking community input for the Bellingen Shire Biodiversity Strategy This is the second community consultation of particular relevance to the Landcare communit...y and others that Bellingen Shire Council is undertaking at the moment. To be involved you can access the project survey on council's community engagement platform Create until 21 July 2019. The Bellingen Shire has a rich biodiverse landscape, from lowland rainforests to ancient Antarctic beech, and is home to a large number of endangered species. To improve the long term management of our unique environment, council is developing a Biodiversity Strategy. The strategy will set the direction and actions for managing significant ecosystems, ecological communities and high value habitats throughout the shire into the future! https://create.bellingen.nsw.gov.au Dandarrga Landcare Bellingen Urban Landcare

18.01.2022 BULC invites you to our annual AGM and end of year celebration. Join us at one of our most recent planting sites to celebrate its abundance, hear about our work and get involved.

18.01.2022 We had a great weeding session at our 2019 planting area along the creek at Bellingen market park. The recent rain made the weeds easy to pull out, and the natives are growing so big! A feel-good morning was had by all.

14.01.2022 Post-flood today, the Landcare plantings along cemetery creek at the market park have mostly survived! Can’t say the same for the fence weighed down by flood debris though...

01.01.2022 Today Bellingen Urban Landcare (BULC) and Bellingen Bush Regenerators held an environmental education and weed control day for all the students of St Mary's Primary School in Bellingen. This went so well!! The kids and teachers were so enthusiastic about learning and weeding along Cemetery Creek, opposite their school grounds. BULC will follow this preparation of the creek bank with another rainforest planting day in March 2020.
