Are you passionate about restoring native landscapes, supporting local biodiversity, and learning practical skills that make a real impact?
The Moorabool Seed Pod program is back in 2025 with two fantastic workshops designed to train locals in native seed collection and processing. Run in partnership with Seeding Victoria and funded through the Moorabool Shire’s Community Grant Program, this initiative is all about building a community of skilled seed collectors right here in our region.
Kickstart your seed journey with expert Dan Frost as he teaches the foundations of native seed collection, including plant ID, collection techniques, and ethical considerations. Includes both classroom and field-based learning.

Since 2021, volunteers from Moorabool Catchment Landcare Group (MCLG) have been working to protect one of Australia’s most iconic animals—the Platypus. Through innovative eDNA surveys, we discovered that the middle reaches of the Moorabool River are home to this shy and secretive species.
Now, we’re inviting you to be part of the solution.
On August 16, join us for Platypus Planting Day 2025. A relaxed, family-friendly community event where we’ll plant native trees and shrubs along the Moorabool River in Morrisons. By restoring vegetation along the riverbanks, we help improve water quality, reduce erosion, and provide essential cover and food sources for Platypus.
This is our fourth consecutive year hosting this event, and the second at this site. Every volunteer effort builds on the work already done—and every plant you put in the ground brings us one step closer to a healthier river
