The North East Dung Beetle group is a collective of interested Landcare and industry groups and landholders undertaking monitoring and release of Dung Beetles in the region.
The group is currently involved in the Caring for our Country funded project 'Doing it with Dung, from the Mountains to the Murray'. The project is regionwide, and is hosted by the Kiewa Catchment Landcare Group.
This project is extending the work of the Lucyvale Better Beef Group dung beetle project, and others.
A wide range of information will be stored here for future reference.

"Do it with Dung - from the Mountains to the Murray"
This project will increase landholders' knowledge and use of improved management practices to improve soil health and reduce water quality impacts from livestock, throughout the North East of Victoria and the Corowa Shire in New South Wales. The project will use dung beetles as the focus species to promote and encourage participation in integrated property management planning, livestock, chemical and pasture management training.
