About Prom Coast Ecolink

nature + people

Who are we? 

Prom Coast Ecolink are a community group working to create a network of nature corridors, or biolinks, from the Strzelecki Ranges to Cape Liptrap Coastal Park. We are a connecting Landcare organisation within the South Gippsland Landcare Network.

​

What do we do?

We connect nature to nature by identifying areas of environmental significance with connective capacity, and people to nature through events and community engagement.
What are biolinks? 

​Biolinks, also referred to as nature corridors, are connected pathways that help wildlife move safely between habitat and vital resources like food, water, and breeding partners. For threatened species like our Strzelecki koalas, these connections are essential for survival and resilience in a changing environment. Plants also thrive by spreading and strengthening through these protected areas.

​​

Our vision is to connect the Strzelecki Ranges, the Hoddle Ranges, and Cape Liptrap Coastal Park. Wilsons Prom is a significant part of the Prom Coast and is set to become a 50,000-hectare climate change safe haven through the Parks Victoria Prom Sanctuary project—an incredible opportunity for conservation.

Why does it matter? 

By showing that caring for the environment, sustainable farming, and vibrant communities can coexist, we can inspire meaningful change. Together, we’re helping South Gippsland remain a place of natural beauty, healthy farmland, and ecological innovation.

 

How do we make it happen? 

We collaborate with key stakeholders—like local councils, Landcare, environmental groups, government agencies, ecologists, and landholders—to link public and private lands. At the community level, we host workshops, citizen science events, and conversations to connect people with nature.

What does this look like in action?​
  • Citizen science events

  • Unique nature experiences 

  • Targeted wildlife surveys

  • Flora and habitat assessments

  • Ecology reports and plant identification

  • Volunteer training and education

  • Nature journalling

  • Regenerative farm tours

  • Advocacy for biodiversity protection

  • Participation in regional environmental strategy such as the Biodiversity Protection Plan​
