Lower Blackwood Landholder Information Survey |
Introduction
Who are we? We are a not-for-profit, community managed, constituted and independent Landcare organisation with a membership representative of landholders with an interest in sustainable agriculture, catchment management, the broader environment and river health in the catchment.
Our district is bounded by the south west coast from Redgate beach to Augusta, and eastwards into the Shire of Nannup and including all of the Scott River and bounded in the east by the Donnelly River. The majority of our district is made of the "Lower Blackwood Catchment", a group of tributaries which drain into the lower reaches of the Blackwood River.
What do we do? In addition to our high levels of biodiversity & our beautiful and unique natural landscape, our catchment includes many high value assets in the form of productive agriculture. We work with farmers, land managers, local government, business and traditional owners to protect our special environment & to promote sustainable & productive agriculture, in a healthy & vibrant community.

What is this survey for? Because we take a holistic view to what we do, it is important for us to have a good understanding of who you, our catchment landholders, are. By better understanding your particular patch of land and your land management priorities & interests, we can better target our projects, events & activities to benefit you, as well as the wider community and environment as a whole.

The survey forms part of a Landholder Value Study of the Lower Blackwood Catchment and is funded by the Department Water and Environmental Regulation through the Regional Estuaries Initiative, a $20 million state government program to restore the function and improve the health of six estuaries in the South West.
