Who are GVEG?
The Goulburn Valley Environment Group (GVEG) is a not-for-profit community environment and conservation organisation based in the Goulburn Valley in northern Victoria, Australia.
GVEG was formed in 1990 by passionate local people who care about the unique and special environment of the Goulburn and Murray valleys. The mission to protect our environment has never ceased since, and continues to be lead by a community of motivated and passionate people.
