Victorian inferno will be receiving green gift for regeneration
Some thoughtful Tasmanian volunteers are about to give away green gifts to the bushfire devastated areas of Victoria.
More than 400,000 hectares of land was burnt out and over 170 lives we lost in the Black Saturday fires.
Oliver Strutt from the Understorey Network of Tasmania coordinated a huge number of volunteers who planted native seeds collected from the burnt out properties' edges around Marysville and Kinglake.
He told ABC Online that it is really good to be putting back some native plants to help with the recovery of that area and support the residents living in the areas.
The coordinator of Victorian Landcare Janet Hagen came to Tasmanian on the weekend to collect the 3,000 vegetations grown over the state. She also told ABC Online that they have had a lot of response from landholders to restore their gardens with native plants which is a good call.
De Deegan from Kettering, a Tasmanian volunteer, says that it has been a worthwhile experience. She also added that it is a wonderful experience to plant the seeds and wait with patience to see how many were going to break through the soil and survive.
The plants will be planted by corporate volunteers by end of this month.
