RGA Landcare

A new Local Landcare Coordinator based in Berrigan Shire Council office has strengthened Landcare support locally through building relationships, attending meetings, and offering on-ground advice. Local Landcare presence means improved access and boosted capacity for community to plan restoration works, apply for grants and explore reintroduction of rare locally native plant species.
