Community restoring indigenous biodiversity

Imagine a region where the creeks are flourishing with indigenous biodiversity. Where each land steward nurtures and fosters a healthy and diverse ecosystem. A region with an abundance of native flora, wildlife and insect species existing cohesively within, and for the betterment of our vineyards, farms and community.

We see this in our region and work to restore it.

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.

Caring for our bi-cultural landscape

Biodiversity McLaren Vale supports the cultural, spiritual, ecological and economic regeneration of the Aboriginal peoples of this place assisted by the actions and power of individuals, organisations and governments.

We actively contribute to ecological regeneration, or Care for Country, in Willangga Yerta Willunga country. We focus on the creek systems, the arteries of our bi-cultural land.
