Outlines the basic principles of Landcare and highlights the role of NZ Landcare Trust (2 pages).

Excerpt:

What is meant by the term landcare? In simple terms landcare is about putting people in control of their local environment. If we take the idea further, it can be seen as enabling people to manage their land in a sustainable manner ensuring economic, ecological and social benefits for present and future generations. Land management issues don’t respect property boundaries therefore a landcare based approach also helps draw people together by encouraging shared solutions.
