Better Bush for Birds Project

/by

Better Bush for Birds is a four-year initiative (2026–2030) funded by the NSW Environmental Trust. It focuses on restoring critically endangered Box Gum Grassy Woodland across the Central Tablelands and supporting over 30 declining woodland bird species. This project will be delivered in partnership with five Landcare groups, combining on-ground restoration, sustainable land management, and community engagement.

Little River Landcare is inviting expressions of interest from landholders to take part in this exciting habitat restoration project! We’re looking for landholders to plant up to 150 subsidized native trees and shrubs, along with access to a limited number of heavy-duty reusable mesh tree guards. The goal is to establish scattered paddock trees and improve habitat connectivity for native woodland birds along with all the environmental co benefits that come along with improving habitat and biodiversity on your patch.

Register your interest to participate in this innovative project by Friday the 22nd of May 2026

Salinity Site Assessments

/by

A partnership project with Mid Macquarie Landcare, Little River Landcare, Three Rivers Landcare, Watershed Landcare and Central Tablelands Landcare scope out the extent and severity of salinity across the central west and tablelands.

After 3 consecutive wet years, the Salinity issue has once again raised it’s ugly head.

Did you know that the Little River Landcare catchment is the second saltiest in NSW? Salinity sites are popping up across this area and established sites are expanding rapidly. However, there are management decisions that can restabilise these areas and in some cases capitalise grazing production when strategically managed.

If you have a bare patch/ wet area of concern on your property, we can visit your farm, assess the site, and make management recommendations.

Recommendations consider the past & current management of the site, in conjunction with its geological landscape and physical soil/water tests taken on site.

Do you have a wet patch / bare area or spot of delayed plant growth you’re concerned about on your property? Book in a site inspection by contacting Phoebe at Little River Landcare.
