A biolink project of the Mornington Peninsula Landcare Network funded by the Natural Resources Conservation League of Victoria
Linking the Mornington Peninsula Landscape (LMPL) is an initiative that aims to reconnect fragmented remnants of indigenous vegetation to create wildlife corridors (biolinks) on the Mornington Peninsula. LMPL assists Mornington Peninsula Landcare groups and landholders to develop collaborative local biolink plans for catchments across the Peninsula. These plans focus on works required to achieve the biolink on private properties, but also consider public land in the biolink area.Designed as a 5-year project, LMPL is to be undertaken over the first 3 years in 7 different regions on the Mornington Peninsula. In Year 1 (2014-15), two biolink plans are being developed: one for Watson Creek catchment (northern Peninsula - Baxter, Somerville, Frankston South), the other for Sheepwash Creek catchment (Red Hill, Dromana South).LMPL builds on a pilot completed in 2014, in the Tuerong-Mooroduc area, near Devilbend Reserve. This pilot resulted in the development of a biolink plan, The Western Linkage Plan, completed in September 2014.LMPL is a project of the  Mornington Peninsula Landcare Network, in partnership with the Natural Resources Conservation League.
