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.
Coordinated Weed Management Through the Good Neighbours Program
Weeds don't stop at fence lines, so managing them requires people to work together. The Good Neighbours Program is bringing together landholders, community groups and government agencies across the Tumbarumba region to improve weed control and reduce the spread of priority weeds such as ox-eye daisy.
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.
