Clifton Landcare Group

Clifton district’s most serious natural resource management challenges are controlling and preventing soil erosion, which affects a myriad of issues primarily, decreased soil health and biological activity, quality of water discharged into creeks which feed the Murray-Darling System, and weed control.

Almost all Clifton Landcare projects address these issues, be they property planning, mapping, accredited environmental management systems or onground works, plantings and pests and weeds.

We are proud that our 18 month project “NRM Capacity Building Workshops for Clifton Landholders” won the 2008 Toowoomba Regional Environmental Excellence Award in the community organization category.
