Glenelg Hopkins CMA Landcare Leaders series
John Keillor, Cashmore Park, Portland
Putting back what was once there across the landscape
In John’s family, the connection to environmental support through field naturalism goes back to the 1900s, and grazing on some of his property has the longest in the history of Victoria, going back the very first settler farmers in 1834. And about 30 years ago, John started his own impact on the local landscape when he headed up the Tarragal Landcare group which took a landscape-scale approach to reversing the clearing of vegetation in the local area. From planting north-south corridors of vegetation, to espousing the benefits of local landcare facilitators, John’s history with landcare is strongly rooted in the theory of living on and with the land.
