The Goulburn Murray Landcare Network (GMLN) is a community-based organisation supporting Landcare groups, volunteers, landholders and communities across the agricultural floodplains of the Goulburn Broken and North Central catchments in Victoria.

Established in 1995, GMLN works across approximately 3,000 square kilometres, connecting and supporting more than 20 Landcare and environmental groups throughout the region.

Our role is to strengthen Landcare and help local communities protect and improve the natural environment while supporting sustainable agriculture and land management.

Supporting Landcare Groups
We provide practical support to Landcare groups and volunteers, helping them turn ideas into action. This includes:
> Helping groups identify and apply for funding for Landcare projects
> Supporting on-ground environmental projects and activities
> Sharing information, ideas and experiences between Landcare groups
> Connecting groups with relevant government agencies, organisations, businesses and community partners
> Helping groups develop partnerships and access resources and expertise
> Providing advice and information on native plants, revegetation, wetlands and sustainable land management
> Promoting Landcare and the important work of local volunteers
> Advocating for Landcare and supporting opportunities to have a voice in regional planning and decision-making.

Education and Training
Education is an important part of what we do. We provide and coordinate opportunities for Landcare groups, landholders, schools and the wider community to learn about environmental management and sustainable land use.

We can assist with training, workshops and field days, as well as provide information and advice on topics such as native vegetation, planting techniques, wetland development, weeds and sustainable farm management.

Our education programs also work with schools and community groups to encourage greater understanding and appreciation of the local environment.

Pest Plants and Animals
Weeds and pest animals can have significant impacts on agricultural productivity, native vegetation and biodiversity.

GMLN supports Landcare groups and landholders with information, advice and assistance to identify opportunities for weed and pest animal control. We also support community-based projects involving weed mapping and control across the region.

Field Days and Community Events
We regularly organise, support and participate in field days, workshops and community events throughout the region.

These activities provide opportunities for landholders and community members to learn from experts, share experiences, see practical examples of environmental management and connect with others involved in Landcare.

Working Together
GMLN works closely with Landcare groups, landholders, volunteers, Agriculture Victoria, DEECA, catchment management authorities, local government, schools, traditional owners, businesses and other community organisations.

By bringing people and organisations together, we help build stronger partnerships and create opportunities for local communities to make a lasting difference to the environment.

Whether you are already involved in Landcare, thinking about starting a project, or simply want to find out more, we are here to help.
