About the Central Tablelands Regional Landcare Network

The Central Tablelands Regional Landcare Network (CTRLN) is located in central NSW and covers an area of approximately 31,365 km2. We represent a dynamic collaboration of our five local networks: Watershed Landcare, Central Tablelands, Mid Lachlan Landcare, Little River Landcare, and Lithgow Oberon Landcare.

The CTRLN places a strong emphasis on collaboration and partnership-building. We work closely with fellow Landcare and community groups, local farmers and landholders, government agencies and private industry within our region. This ensures that our initiatives are characterised by cooperation. Our commitment to collaborative engagement allows us to maximise the positive impact of our work and create sustainable outcomes for the wider community and our environment.

Our region is abundant in natural resources, including national parks, culturally significant sites and hosts a rich diversity of native flora and fauna. The Central Tablelands Regional Landcare Network falls predominantly within Wiradjuri Aboriginal country. Agriculturally, the region's diversity adds complexity to its natural resource management. Grazing stands as the most significant land use, followed by irrigated farming, broad-acre crops, and horticultural ventures, including fruit and vegetable cultivation and viticulture.

Our Network recognises that Aboriginal people are the original landcarers of Australia, and we are committed to engaging with our local Aboriginal residents and communities.
