Case Studies
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.
Bushland Baskets
Bushland Baskets are portable displays of native plants grown in cane baskets, using locally sourced species from the Lithgow Community Nursery. Designed to reflect our local bushland, each basket promotes the beauty, biodiversity, and ecological value of provenance-based planting—while showcasing the work of our Landcare and community nurseries.
