| Environmental Publications and Information Kits | | Mitchell Shire Council produces a quarterly environmental newsletter titled "Kil-more Weeds and Sey-mour Trees". This newsletter covers current land management issues, policies, information on local groups, grants and current environmental activities.
The Mitchell Shire Land Management Information Directory lists over one hundred local farming and land management services provided by private contractors and public agencies throughout the Mitchell Shire.
The Environment Officers at Macedon Ranges, Mount Alexander and Mitchell Shire Councils joined forces to produce a comprehensive weed identification and control guide titled “Central Victorian Weed Guide”.
The unit also sends out New Rural Landholder Kits every six months to properties over 2Ha. in size. This includes information on native vegetation, weeds, local environmental community groups, fire prevention and environmental contacts.
To request a copy of any of the above publications, or to be placed on the e-mailing list for the newsletter, please e-mail Council using the below link. Remember to list your property and postal address if you would like a hard copy document.
