Our vision is to preserve and protect biodiversity of our natural environment, and to foster community awareness and participation in sustainable natural resource management for Newcastle.
Our Landcare volunteers work within the framework of the Landcare Ethic: Working towards the ecological restoration and sustainable management of the land and water resources in the Hunter region and to pass on a healthier natural environment to future generations.
