"Meet a Member" webinar: 23rd April 2024

Working with community groups, restoring a drained wetland, and the return of local wildlife... Mick Loughnan took us on a virtual tour of his property along the Great Ocean Road.

Thanks to those who tuned in for our latest “Meet a Member” webinar, held on Tuesday 23rd April 2024.

Mick Loughnan's Property

If you missed out, watch the recording below where LCV member, Mick Loughnan, discussed his experience revegetating an 11 acre previously denuded horse paddock on the Painkalac Creek in Aireys Inlet, which is protected by a Trust for Nature conservation covenant.

Mick highlighted:


  • Working with community groups

  • Developing a structure for revegetation to maximise a diversity of habitat

  • Re-establishing a once drained wetland

  • Surveying and documenting the return of local wildlife.


This was one of our initiatives to help build connections between members, without driving long distances! Watch the recording below if you missed out.

We were delighted to receive positive feedback from members after the event (shared below) and look forward to organising the next webinar soon. To stay in touch with Mick check out his Instagram page @WildingtheValley - Bringing a Surfcoast wetland back to life.


"I was sitting here with goosebumps listening to Mick’s story and knowing that everyone else attending is also managing for biodiversity and future generations. I feel so lucky to be a very tiny part of this community. I loved Mick's passion, and meeting a group of fellow covenantors.


I learnt about the potential to give others a sense of ownership and hopefully help with management. Thanks Mick for sharing your experience - great to learn from. This forum is a great exchange initiative."
