"The best part was we got to care for the environment and enjoy nature. It was a therapeutic and healing experience."

A community art exhibition at Nathalia’s G.R.A.I.N. Store (Growing Regional Art in Nathalia) helped raise awareness of the endangered bush Stone-curlew.

"People around the district are saying what a great thing it is to see the blackberries treated.
It has even seen a new sub-group started at Tambo Crossing just down the river as they are keen to be involved too.
The group have a great sense of achievement and know that they are contributing to the bigger picture and have loved the support the CMA have provided.People have been motivated to undertake additional works and it’s all because of this project."
