The Grassy Plains Network, in collaboration with Iramoo Young Stewards and NatureWest, will host the Spring Fling Grasslands Festival on Sunday, October 6.
It will take place at the Iramoo Nursery in St Albans.
This free event aims to bring together community members who share an interest in grassland ecosystems.
Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a wildflower walk in Iramoo Grassland and visit the Iramoo Nursery to learn about their propagation efforts.
The festival will also feature the launch of four short films produced by the Grassy Plains Network, as well as a screening of the Grasslands Documentary by Little Projector Company, followed by a question and answer session with the directors and videographers.
Additional activities include a moth survey, mural painting, and paper wildflower crafting.
A plant giveaway will be offered, and live music performances, including ‘cello in the grasslands’ will take place throughout the event.
A bike ride along Kororoit Creek will start at 2.30pm, arriving at the festival by 4.45pm.
Children’s activities will include temporary tattoos, craft making, and opportunities to explore the grassland. Food and drinks will be available for attendees.
The event is organised by the Grassy Plains Network in partnership with Friends of Iramoo, Iramoo Young Stewards, the Green Lab, NatureWest, and Victoria University.
