The Victorian Landcare Council (VLC) was established in 2008 to represent the interests of volunteer Landcare in Victoria, in pursuing a healthy and sustainable environment. Landcare began in Victoria in 1986 but since that time has not had an independent voice. Although Landcare has achieved a great deal, it has not always been given appropriate credit for its achievements, and now, is struggling to build on the achievements of the past without adequate funding or recognition. With much still to be done to protect and repair the environment and promote sustainable agriculture, the challenges ahead are immense.
The Victorian Landcare Council is independent of Government and business or other organisations. It comprises representatives from each of the ten Catchment Management Authority regions in Victoria and sees its role to:
• advocate for volunteer landcare at the policy and decision making levels,
• promote the achievements of Landcare, and
• represent volunteer Landcare at the State and national level
The VLC aims to represent its members and to do this, we need Landcare Groups as well as Networks to become constituent members so that we can be truly representative of Landcare in Victoria. We invite you to join with other Landcare Groups and Networks and become members of the VLC.
