Mid Lachlan Landcare is a community organisation committed to the regeneration of land and communities around Canowindra, Cowra, Eugowra, Gooloogong, Greenethorpe, Koorawatha, Lyndhurst, Wyangala and Woodstock.
In the Mid Lachlan Landcare district we are caring in ways that include:
- Improving connectivity for native wildlife in the Kanangra Boyd to Wyangala Link (K2W), part of the Great Eastern Ranges Initiative.
- Growing the Grazing Revolution - Our project that supports local networks of producers in adopting sustainable grazing practices
- Billy Goat Hill Rehabilitation- habitat enhancement within remnant white box woodland
- Squirrel Glider Project - Monitoring of a threatened population of squirrel glider's and their uptake of artificial nest boxes
- Educational Tours for students that showcase local action on salinity and natural resource management issues.
