Resource Kit for Rural Landholders
This is a joint project managed by Hastings Landcare Inc, Macleay Landcare Network and Nambucca Valley Landcare to produce a resource kit for landholders in the Nambucca, Macleay and Hastings Valleys.
Funding for this project was received from the Dept of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry National Landcare Program and the Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority.
Whether you are thinking of taking up rural life on the mid north coast of NSW, or have already done so, it is often hard to know where to turn for information. There is an enormous amount of material available but unfortunately it is scattered across many organisations and in many formats.
The kit pulls together basic information relevant to living on the land that is normally scattered across organisations in to an easy to use guide for landholders in these three valleys.
The kit briefly describes the natural resources (soils, water, native vegetation, pastures) and major factors that impact on them (climate, drought, fire, weeds) specific to this area.
The kit also provides a selected guide to resources where you can find more detailed information about enterprises you work with or better understand your land.
The contacts section in the kit lists contacts for Government departments and organisations relevant to living on the land.
A Supplementary Pack is also available for more detailed information on agricultural enterprises and managing your natural resources.
These kits are FREE and can be obtained from:
