The Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) has announced 70 job cuts to its land stewardship and biodiversity group.
The union representing DSE employees, the Community and Public Sector Union, says most of the jobs lost are based in Melbourne.
But the union's Karen Batt says the cuts will have a severe impact on teams working in regional Victoria.
"The impact that it's going to have on regional Victoria is quite severe - if you lose the knowledge and the expertise of the staff in this area, how are we going to have the staff in the field being able to deliver the services that regional Victorians rely on very heavily," she said.
