In partnership with other groups and landholders in the community, we develop and enact programs to achieve:

 A reversal in land degradation;
Promotion of best land management;
Conservation and restoration of habitat for native flora and fauna.

 Improvement of water quality in river systems, drains and wetlands.

We also provide opportunities, resources and support for landholders and community groups to improve their skills and knowledge in the management of natural resources.

This includes providing technical assistance with advice and accessing resources and funding.
