What We Do
Creek line regeneration in the McLaren Vale region is the key objective of Biodiversity McLaren Vale. These creek lines are primarily on the Willunga, Maslin and Pedlar Creek systems.
This regeneration has the following benefits:
Protecting and enhancing the biodiversity of privately-owned land within the McLaren Vale landscape
Improving the appearance of our region, particularly around grape and wine properties
Enhancing the credentials of McLaren Vale’s regional eco-wine tourism brand
Raising the region’s biodiversity score, as captured by the McLaren Vale Grape Wine & Tourism Association’s Sustainable Winegrowing program
What we are achieving:
The clearing and regeneration of heavily degraded creek lines within the McLaren Vale region
Slowing of the spread of olives and other feral woody weeds across the region
Enhancing our landscape
Strengthening populations of diminished flora
Improving native fauna habitats
Increasing local environment health awareness
Community engagement
Reinforcing McLaren Vale’s premium eco-wine destination credentials
Increasing the presence and habitat for beneficial insects
