Support
for landcare
The Wyong Shire currently boasts 24 active environmental
care groups including Landcare, Bushcare, Dunecare and
Rivercare.
Together they have more than 200 hard working volunteer
members who carry out environmental repair work all
around our Shire, often contributing some 400 hours
each month.
The tasks and challenges they undertake are as diverse
as the variety of environments they work in. These range
from our award-winning beaches and coastline to the
hinterland in rainforest and wetlands.
Some of our longest serving groups include Budgewoi
Beach Dunecare, Bateau Bay Bushcare, and Ourimbah Creek
Landcare which have been active for about seven years.
Council employs a Landcare coordinator to support all
the environmental groups and recently agreed to fund
all their public liability insurance when they are working
in the Shire.
The environmental groups are always on the lookout
for more support and new members.
 Anyone
interested in joining a group near to them can contact
Wyong Council's Landcare Coordinator on (02) 4350 5444
or email landcare@wyong.nsw.gov.au

Wyong Shire Council acknowledges all support it receives
toward natural resource management. Corporate
supporters such as Delta Electricity, provide
much-needed assistance for environmental projects.
