Meet the Landcare Irrigation Area Collective

The Landcare Irrigation Area Collective is a group of people from various private and government organisations within the Murrumbidgee, Coleambally and Murray irrigation areas who have a keen interest in and actively work to improve and manage the natural resources of the irrigation areas of the Riverina.

The members of the Collective are aiming to combine their collective skills and knowledge to help each other with regional NRM activities to restore a strong and vibrant Landcare community, promote sustainable agriculture and natural resource management through on-ground works, education and best practice.

The ‘Collective’ includes Murrumbidgee Landcare, Murrumbidgee Irrigation, Local Land Services, Coleambally Irrigation, Murrumbidgee Field Naturalists, RiceGrower’s Association, Griffith City Council, Leeton Shire Council, Department of Primary Industries Lands and Bitterns in Rice project. This was an initiative formulated by the Regional Landcare Coordinator, Bindi Vanzella to promote and build community partnerships.
