The Blampied Kooroocheang Landcare Group welcome New Members !!!
Whether you’re a broad acre farmer, run a small hobby farmlet or you might even be in town … we'd love to hear from you.
If you're a farmer you can improve productivity on your land while looking after soil health and tackling weeds and pests. Lots of farmers say forging new friendships and learning from other farmers is another benefit of being involved in Landcare, especially if you've just moved into a new area, or you're new at farming.
If you don't have a farm, but you want to be part of Landcare, there are still plenty of ways to be involved. For those of you who like to get your hands dirty, events like tree-planting days and weekends are lots of fun, and you can make firm friendships while doing something practical for your local community and the environment. And if you'd rather keep your hands clean, there are plenty of support roles that need volunteers to fill them.
