With the O’Keefe Rail Trail being a longitudinal connector for identified areas of significant biodiversity, care for this important link is being assisted by the Friends of the Bendigo-Kilmore Rail Trail members.

In conjunction with the City of Greater Bendigo council’s Parks & Natural Reserves staff, the working bee effort was focussed on providing additional mulch around a previous plantation that had been affected by the major 2023 floods.

This plantation is adjacent to the O’Keefe Rail Trail and the trail’s Campaspe River bridge at Axedale.
