This year, history was made in Victoria. It is a true honour to support the state’s largest ever land handback to Traditional Owners, to the First Peoples of Millewa Mallee. To celebrate #NAIDOCWeek, watch this fantastic video of the special event on beautiful Ngintait Country.

Meet the Brown Toadlet, found in dry habitats across north, central and west Vic. Like many frogs worldwide, they are declining. With 60% of their remaining habitat found on private land, we're working with landholders to make sure they have places to live forever.

The first of 32 Critically Endangered Helmeted Honeyeaters have been released to a new site on the edge of Yarra Ranges National Park. With Helmeted Honeyeaters in both Yellingbo and O’Shannassy, it greatly strengthens the long-term survival prospects for this species! Go team!

This is how to do it! Local government stepping up to reward land owners who do the right thing for our environment. Bravo @MornPenShire

We've introduced a new @trustfornature rate giving landholders a discount of 65% on their rates for the area of land covenanted. Trust for Nature’s conservation covenant helps landholders to permanently protect native vegetation on their properties https://t.co/FKhwyC7q5b
