Caring for the land, water and wildlife of the Bellarine
See what we do
Bellarine Catchment Network brings community groups, land managers and volunteers together to protect and celebrate the unique environments of the Bellarine Peninsula.
From coastal dunes to seagrass meadows, to wetlands, woodlands and backyards, we support projects that restore habitat, reduce litter, build climate resilience and connect people with nature. Whether you are a long time resident or a visitor to the Bellarine, there is something for everyone to get involved in.
