A Brief History
The Biodiversity Sub-Committee of the Avon Richardson Catchment Implementation Group was looking to enhance the good work that had been carried out by the local Landcare Groups, and also the Woodland and Wetlands projects. They also wanted to develop a holistic approach whereby the entire river system would be linked to all other restoration and revegetation projects in the catchment and beyond. This would include Mount Jeffcott Flora and Fauna Reserve, Wooroonook Lakes sytems, Tchum Lakes and Tyrell Lakes in the north, Lake Buloke and the Avoca River.

The area proposed broadly matched the municipality of the Shire of Buloke and so the Buloke Biolink Project was born. By using the Shire boundaries as a guide the project was linked with neighbouring shires, such as Yarriambiack.

The project started in late 2001 combining two seperate initiatives of the Mallee CMA and North Central CMA. These two projects, originally known as the Corridor - Cornerstones Project and the Buloke Biosphere Project, were combined as the Buloke Biolink Project and received seeding funding of $300,000 from the Natural Heritage Trust in 2001/02.
