Landcare NSW has a responsibility to faithfully represent our members’ views. Based on their input we generate ideas and provide advice to government and other partners with the goal of strengthening Landcare NSW’s capacity to deliver tangible outcomes for sustainable agriculture, the environment and local communities.
Working with our Council of endorsed regional representatives and a network of professional Landcare coordinators, Landcare NSW is able to convey information to and from local Landcare communities. The expertise, experience and practical knowledge of on-ground Landcarers is crystallised and shared with decision-makers.
We commission and undertake research; for example in 2018 a report found a return of $6 for every $1 invested in Landcare in NSW. A number of reports have been written documenting the value and impact of Landcare.
