The Pondcast

Listen to the series.

Welcome to the Glenelg Hopkins CMA Pondcast – a podcast giving you an insight to what happens behind the acronym GHCMA.

In this series, we’re going to take a look at what a Catchment Management Authority does, the projects the organisation is delivering, meet some of the passionate people delivering those projects and hopefully along the way, give you an insight to how we are protecting and enhancing the land, waterways and biodiversity of the Glenelg Hopkins Region of South West Victoria.
