What is Landcare?

Landcare is about groups of landholders working together to tackle local land management issues.The South Gippsland Landcare Network (SGLN) was formed in 1995 by a key group of volunteers. The South Gippsland Landcare Network today covers 4000 square kilometres across the entire South Gippsland Shire and areas of Cardinia and Baw Baw Shires. The Network encompasses 22 Landcare Groups from Nyora in the West across to Welshpool in the East and from Mirboo Nth, down to our southern most group at Yanakie near Wilson's Promontory. See link below for map of location of Landcare Groups.

SGLN works with our local community to improve the long-term sustainability of farming and the environment in South Gippsland. Working together, the local community is finding practical solutions to local land management issues.

Local groups use action plans to address local issues such as sustainable productivity, water quality, soil erosion, weed management, remnant vegetation protection and revegetation.
