Gunning District Landcare works towards making our farms, properties, homes and public spaces economically and environmentally sound and sustainable by promoting and encouraging the adoption of natural resource management principles. Gunning District Landcare continues to focus on sustainable land management, biodiversity conservation, and community involvement in environmental stewardship.

We place emphasis in all that we do on the principles that:

• The plight of several endangered species in our district is caused by declining biodiversity and deteriorating ecosystems so, in working to help their survival, we also help to improve the agricultural and environmental health of our district;
• Landcare is for all in the district, be they long established full-time farmers, newcomer hobby farmers, rural “blockies” or village residents;
• Landcare is inclusive;
• We achieve best results through working in consultation and partnership.
