When Community Shows Up, Nature's Not All That Thrives: The Riddiford Arboretum Clean‑Up
Western Landcare NSW partnered with the Riddiford Arboretum Working Group during a Clean Up Australia Day. The Riddiford Arboretum is the cornerstone of Broken Hill’s conservation history, showcasing early methods pioneered by Albert Morris at Broken Hill.
Beyond the Group Model - Independent Land Managers Shape Western NSW
The current membership model recognises and supports the efforts of groups. Yet across Western NSW, landholders manage vast landscapes independently. Land care is embedded in their everyday operations. To achieve improved long term environmental outcomes, we must recognise, value and support these everyday efforts that occur outside the traditional group model. All land care needs to be counted.

Australia’s Shortest Bushwalk: Protecting Big Biodiversity in a Small Space
At Napoleon Reef, just outside Bathurst, a 50-metre stretch of roadside has become a thriving biodiversity hotspot. Recognised by Bathurst Regional Council as a Significant Roadside Environment Area (SREA), this short walk features over 50 native plant species identified to date and 20 plant markers highlighting its unique diversity. Thanks to the dedicated work of Napoleon Reef Landcare volunteers, this tiny site now stands as a vibrant wildlife corridor and living example of community-led conservation in action.
