Introduction

Phillip Island Landcare Group along with 5 local coastcare groups successfully applied for a coastcare grant in 2020/21. The purpose of the grant was to encourage groups to come together and share their knoweledge and understanding of the land through field days and workshops.

The time together was such a positive experience it became the catalyst to formally invite 11 volunteer groups to join the newly formed Phillip Island Land Alliance (PILA). 

The Launch

PILA was formally recognised at our launch, on the 12th of May 2022, when the 11 community groups signed the statement. At the launch we also invited our partners the Bass Coast Landcare Network to launch their 'Teaming up to Tackle Rabbits' program.
