Thousands of young Victorians are going out into the great outdoors to learn how to care for our land, waterways and native wildlife thanks to the Allan Labor Government.
Member for Bellarine Alison Marchant today celebrated the achievements of three Bellarine primary schools recognised as part of the Victorian Junior Landcare and Biodiversity Grants program with up to 450,000 in grants to support 111 projects across schools, Scouts, Guides and youth groups through the grants program.
Grants of up to 3.2 million to 778 successful projects that combined have led to more than 57,000 young people being involved in environmental projects including 1500 excursions, 847 nest boxes installed and the planting of 124,000 indigenous plants.

"These innovative projects showcase the important role our young people play in the Bellarine in protecting local native wildlife and plants into the future - not only shaping a cleaner, greener and thriving future for our community, but for all Victorians."
