Now that the Covid restrictions are behind us, Neerim District Landcare is wanting to restore its community activities, workshops and information sessions.
For more than 25 years, Neerim District Landcare has initiated local community action and learning programs targeting the four core Landcare themes:
- Sustainable Farming
- Land management
- Pest plant and animal control
- Support for local wildlife
The group has a simple purpose – to encourage a sustainable, integrated approach to agriculture and the environment in our region.
Our goal is to build capacity in our community to better manage the land and water assets that sustain us by developing and implementing programs that are practical, deliverable and community focussed.
We want your help, by telling us, what areas and topics are of interest to you.
This will assist us to provide relevant and interesting activities, guest speakers and information on topics of local importance.
To let us know your preferences, to request further information or to register your interest in participating please do one of the following:

PO Box 68
