About
In 2019, the Biodiversity Managers Network (BMN) voted to become a Victorian branch of AABR. As the Victorian branch grows in strength and stature, we will be able to support and increase awareness of The National Restoration Standards as well as implement accreditation and access relevant training for bush regeneration practitioners.
