Each year the NSW government publishes an in-depth set of reports analysing the work volunteers do across the state and its value to our ecomony. As a volunteer-based organisation, Landcare groups such as ours compare this big-picture data to that which we collect locally in a bid to better understand the capacity that exist here in the Mid Lachlan Region. We then use those insights in our priority work plan to ensure the grants, resources & opportunities we invest in are both deliverable and desirable to you, our community.

We’ve pulled out some key data from the rural and regional volunteers chapter of the report and collaited it in an infographic below. You can read the full set of reports by following this link to the NSW government website where all of the reports can be downloaded for free.

We’d like to take this opportunity to again thank all of our existing volunteers and remind you all that Mid Lachlan Landcare is free to join and has a ‘no obligation’ policy meaning you can come along and get involved in as much or as little as you like/ can. Joining is easy simply email our office and ask to be put on our mailing list. In our newsletter you’ll find events, grant opportunities you may wish to apply for, interesting media links and an update on what our team has been up to that month. Landcare is for everyone!

Look forward to welcoming you along.
