The Yarram Yarram Landcare Network (YYLN) was established in 1995. The Network covers a diverse area of approximately 118,000 hectares stretching from the temperate rainforests of the Strzelecki Ranges to the Ramsar-listed wetlands of Corner Inlet and Nooramunga Marine and Coastal Park, encompassing the Giffard Plain, along the Ninety Mile Beach to Seaspray.
YYLN has a long history, with some local groups among the oldest and most active in the State. We are proud of our local contribution.
The YYLN is the umbrella organisation for six active Landcare Groups, and provides support and strategic direction across the YYLN area. Our groups are made up of volunteers usually from the local area. Members are involved in a range of activities and events including: protecting remnant vegetation and revegetation, invasive plant and animal control, sustainable agriculture, and environmental education. The Landcare Groups also provide a framework for locals to get together.
The YYLN is a not-for profit, incorporated association, managed by a volunteer Board (made up of local people) who ensure the organisation is well governed, provides strategic direction for the region and is representative of the local members.
