Please downlaod and circulate this petition to your groups and volunteers to support the future of Landcare support funding
Petition to be presented to the House of Representatives by the Hon Mr Darren Chester, 36 Macarthur St, Sale
The Federal Government has restructured its approach to Natural Resource Management resulting in the loss of Landcare facilitators/coordinators who play a pivotal role in Landcare groups and projects. This change to funding is short sighted and will mean the destruction of Landcare as we know it and another blow to struggling rural Australians.
We, the undersigned, call on the House of Representatives to immediately reinstate the funding of local Landcare facilitators and coordinators in order to allow Landcare groups to function effectively and to address the Caring for Our Country priority of community skills, knowledge and engagement.
Download the petition for your group and volunteers to sign and return by Monday 23rd November if possible.
