• In 2020 NDLG partnered with Macedon Ranges Shire Council on a federally-funded project to monitor roadside diversity. This was done by spotlighting for mammals across 10 roadsides in the Newham area, followed by community engagement workshops to further educate people about the value of roadsides as habitat.
