To be the representative, effective and trusted national voice for the Landcare community.

Our Purpose

The driving purpose of the NLN is to represent, support and foster the community Landcare movement. To achieve this, we need to be trusted and valued by our members, by the community and by the Federal Government as the national peak body.

Our Objectives

Identification

Identify and resolve issues and challenges relating to, and to promote, the conservation, restoration, and economically and socially sustainable management of land.

Representation

The NLN membership comprises each State and Territory peak Landcare body who come together to share their successes and support one another in overcoming challenges. Collectively, they represent community Landcare across the country and seek to foster, support and strengthen the knowledge, resources and capabilities of the Landcare movement and the thousands of volunteers who are at its heart.

Acknowledgement

The NLN acknowledges that Indigenous people have cared for and managed this continent for millennia and continue to care for their country today. We respect Traditional Owners’ knowledge, skills and responsibilities in land and sea management and their role in leading the planning and caring for country across Australia.
