The newly reinstated Landcare coordinator role has been revitalised with Narromine Shire Council taking on the host role.
The program will run from 2019-2023 and is a collaborative endeavour of Local Land Services and Landcare NSW, supported by the NSW Government.
The longevity of the role allows the opportunity for long term planning and rollout of programs that can benefit the local community for years to come.
With Macquarie 2100 stepping down from the host role, the group has been renamed to Lower Macquarie Landcare.
