  Huntly Streamside Reserve is a significant woodland remnant within a largely cleared floodplain. A rapid increase in housing developments through Epsom and Huntly has compounded the loss of native vegetation and connectivity. Project activities include community plantings, weed & rabbit control, educational activities, nestbox installation & monitoring Northern Bendigo Landcare Group (NBLG) has the support of Parks Victoria, local primary schools, Bendigo TAFE Conservation & Land Management and other community groups.
  Together with these groups NBLG is restoring highly degraded Creekline Grassy Woodland (Goldfields) Community biolink along Bendigo Creek. The Biolink will perform a vital role in conserving threatened species by assisting their dispersion/movement & will also act as a refuge during prolonged droughts likely to be exacerbated by climate change
