Education
We offer a range of support to Landcare groups and individual landholders on how to apply for funding for projects and support with on-ground works.
We can help provide training to Landcare groups, assist with writing media articles, provide information on plant species best suited for your area and written material on wetland development and planting techniques. We also have very good contacts within agencies and can offer assistance if you are not sure who to approach about an issue.
We also have a dedicated education group who work with schools and groups to provide an environmental based education program.

Pest Plants & Animals
Weeds and feral animals are a concern to most landholders due to loss of productivity and the effects on stock. The Goulburn Murray Landcare Network aims to assist with the control of weeds and feral animals on public or private land by offering advice and support for funding. We are involved in mapping and control of weeds in certain areas.
Field Days
We present and attend field days in the Region on request and promote Landcare, encourage Best Management Practices for farms and encourage sustainable farm management.
