Frogmore Swamp Weed Control
Come join your local Conservation Volunteers team as we help protect one of our local swamplands.
Frogmore swamp is an important wildlife reserve located on the Moolort Plains in Central Victoria. The plains country is part of the Victorian Volcanic Plains, once dominated by native grasslands and largely untimbered. Silver Banksia, Tree-Violet and Bursaria were some of the predominant shrubs in this verdant landscape, prior to European settlement. A feature of the Moolort Plains are its wetlands and swamps, many of which have been actively managed for conservation values by local farmers.
Frogmore Swamp is a Red-gum and lignum wetland at the north-eastern edge of the plains and a favourite spot to visit. Joe and I observed some 35 species there are couple of days ago with the following species recorded breeding: Pacific Heron, Little Pied Cormorant, Grey Teal, Hardhead, Hoary-headed Grebe, Australasian Grebe, Black Swan and Eurasian Coot.
If you would like to come and help us look after this important wetland, then please give us a call on 5444 0777.
