Travel and lifestyle TV show Postcards visited Woodend last week to highlight some of the wonderful food and leisure options available in town.
The program included the lovely walk along Five Mile Creek through the middle of town, which has been the focus of Woodend Landcare’s revegetation works over the past 30 years.
Presenter Brodie Harper interviewed Woodend Landcare’s Nicole Middleton about the community group and their activities as they took a stroll along the creek path.
“There are many reasons why people should join a community group such as Woodend Landcare,” Nicole explained.
“Some of these include getting out in the fresh air, doing some exercise, helping to protect and enhance the local environment, meeting new people and socialising.
“Our caterers Chris and Kate put on a delicious morning tea for everyone who helps out at our Sunday working bees.
“People can get involved with Woodend Landcare by coming along to one of our Sunday or Thursday working bees or signing up as a financial member.
“Working bees are advertised on posters around town, on our Woodend Landcare blog and facebook and in the Woodend Rotary’s New Woodend Star magazine.”
Other members of Woodend Landcare were present to demonstrate planting an endangered black gum (Eucalytpus aggregata) seedling within the site of a recent planting event.
The Black Gum BioLink Enhancement Project is funded by a grant from Macedon Rangers Shire Council together with Bendigo Bank.
Black gum is an endangered gum tree within Victoria, as it only grows within 4km of Woodend.
The episode of Postcards featuring Woodend will air early in 2025.
