Neerim and District Landcare Group

What is Landcare ?

Landcare is based on the principle of neighbours collaborating to address shared local environmental issues.

Sustainable land and water management form the basis for partnerships between Landcare groups, Government agencies, industry, schools, the VFF and other organizations.

Why is Landcare important in the Neerim district?

A good question, particularly as you drive through our district first impressions are of a beautiful landscape, with rolling hills, forested vistas, green pastures, fat cattle and evidence of better-than-average rainfalls.

In fact, as you look closely into these views, you may spot signs that there is room for improvement in the way our farms and public land is managed.

A local group of enthusiastic supporters of the reserve, The Friends of Glen Nayook, was formed in 2003 to assist Parks Vic with ongoing maintenance and promotion of the reserve. This will ensure that the reserve will be available to locals and visitors into the future.

The aim of the Tarago Catchment Sustainable Farms Project is to provide landholders with funding and support to undertake projects on their land that work towards achieving sustainable production.
