Otway Agroforestry Network and the Upper Barwon Landcare Network $30,000 Otway L.E.A.F (Linking Environment and Farms) Project The Norman Wettenhall Foundation awarded a grant in 2009 to the Otway Agroforestry Network for the work they are doing in conjunction with the Upper Barwon Landcare Network, in the Otways. The project is called "Otways to the Divide - linking living landscapes and people". Both groups have a solid history of leading community projects. This joint initiative aims to create and enhance multipurpose biolinks using an extensive program of landholder education and innovative land mangement techniques delivered through focus farm groups. The OAN's Peer Group Mentoring program is of particular interest to the Foundation and we hope to share this information with our other landscape restoration projects. The Upper Barwon Landcare Network is also going to engage with the community web mapping portal provided by Spatial Vision. see Otway Agroforestry Network website see Upper Barwon Landcare Network website
