All science needs to be collaborative. But in ecology, we take our lead from the ecosystems we study, where all components of the natural environment are interlinked and contribute to each other's survival.  

Ecological research and conservation science are key to mitigating the biodiversity crisis that Australia is currently facing, and we'll only do it by taking the whole community with us.

Join the Conservation Ecology Centre and the Southern Otway Landcare Network, together with Marengo-Barham Catchment Landcare group, as we bring back the Big Otway Tree Plant in 2025!

It's definitely about tree planting, but perhaps even more about connection and building environmental hope with like-minded friends in a gorgeous setting: Cape Otway.
