Treasures of this Land

Treasures of this Land is an art exhibition and auction, raising funds in aid of animals and plants facing an uncertain future across the Macedon Ranges.

Featuring artworks from over a dozen nationally and internationally acclaimed artists including Mary Barton, Daniel Butterworth, Matt Butterwoth, Peter D. Cole, Helen M. Cole, Oliver Cole, Ian Drummond, Flynn Silver, Karan Hayman, Lucie Howson, Mark Howson,  Tim Jones, Amanda Marburg, Angelina Pwerle, Cameron Robbins, Sam Slicer and Jason Waterhouse the exhibition will raise raise community awareness of the rich and diverse ecosystems of the Macedon Ranges.

In our lifetime, the local landscape has been irrevocably changed through a wide range of land uses and practices. Native animals such as the Koala, Platypus and Growling Grass Frog which once used to be found here in abundance, are rarely seen.

Now is the time for community action to protect the habitats and animals that have called the Macedon Ranges home for centuries.

All funds raised will support the success of the Greenhill to Black Hill biolink, a community-led restoration project that is improving local habitat for endangered animals and plants.
