Collaborations
HRLN is currently working with the 9 local government Councils of the Hunter and the Hunter Joint Organisation, to bridge the gap between the work that Landcarers do in the field, and each Council’s strategic plans for the management of their natural areas.
As part of this collaboration we are working to establish memoranda of understanding (MoU) that set out clear directions and support for all Landcare works on Council lands.
Please view our established memoranda of understanding below. More will follow.
