Torquay Landcare Group

Torquay Landcare Group (TLG) has guite a long history, having started in 1982, even before Landcare was announced by Premier Joan Kirner as a Victorian State Government initiative in 1986. These days, TLG includes people from a wide area: Spring Creek Catchment, Thompsons Creek Catchment and Connewarre Lakes. Our membership and activities therefore spread out between: Torquay, Bellbrae, Freshwater Creek, Mt Duneed, Connewarre and Moriac. We like to publicise our activities in the wider community and welcome new membership.
