In 2004 Landcare in the region underwent a restructure due to changes in natural resource management (establishment of the Catchment Management Authorities) and associated funding.
Instead of individual incorporated landcare groups, everyone became a member of Watershed Landcare Inc. with members now participating in different projects according to their particular interests.
Watershed Landcare now has a diverse membership of some 300+ people and businesses all of who have a common interest in repairing and improving the natural resources of our region.
