Chapter 6: How to set up a Landcare Group

Landcare Groups can be far more effective than individuals when it comes to sustainable land management projects. This chapters explains how to set up a Landcare Group (14 pages).

Excerpt:

Land management issues don’t respect property boundaries. Caring for the land and our natural resources often requires community participation. If you have a problem, it’s highly likely your neighbours will share a similar problem. Weed seeds blow across property boundaries, erosion prone gullies cut through boundary fences, and streams flow across multiple properties in a catchment. Landcare groups encourage neighbours to work together to overcome common problems.
