National Landcare Program
The NLP is a longstanding program within the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry which supports the landcare movement and the sustainable use and management of natural resources. The NLP encourages landholders to undertake landcare and related conservation works by supporting collective action by communities to sustainably manage the environment and natural resources.
The NLP has been highly effective in encouraging farmers to adopt sustainable management practices, and improve their productivity, profitability and the condition of our natural resources, both on and off farms. Landcare is also strong in regional towns and metropolitan centres.
The partnership between government and the community is critical to encouraging on-ground action to improve natural resource management at the farm, catchment and regional level.
NLP funding continues until the end of 2011-12, although details of the delivery arrangements from 2008-09 to 2011-12 are being developed.
