Wangaratta and Sustainability Network volunteers have been left shattered after their trailer was stolen from Mullunmur Billabong off Phillipson Street.
The trailer, donated to the group by North East Catchment Management Authority, was valued at about $1500 and was used to transport equipment, rocks, plants and rubbish at various sites the volunteers were working on.
The area around Mullinmur Billabong is one of WLSN's proudest projects, transforming the neglected wetland into a flourishing biological oasis now bursting with new flora and fauna.
The trailer was stolen between 3.30pm Friday, 29 August and Saturday 8.40am.
The trailer's registration number was 004 973.
