The Kyeamba Valley Landcare group is a group of Kyeamba Valley landholders with a common concern about the protection of our natural resources.
Many of us share this concern but are unsure of the benefits to each of us in actually belonging to and becoming actively involved in a Landcare group.
Becoming actively involved in the Kyeamba Valley Landcare group and carrying out Landcare works on your property can provide benefits for you and your community including:
* Improvement and protection of future income earning capacity of your land and water resources
* Increased property values
* Increases in productivity
* Sharing technical information and advice
* Funding incentives to offset costs of Landcare activities
* Savings on inputs eg: bulk tree orders; negotiated discounts on fencing materials
* Networking with landholders to exchange ideas and information
* Strong communities through involvement in common community and social issues
* Learning opportunities through Landcare field days and workshops
* View results of Landcare activities locally ie: what other farmers have done and how
* Tax offsets and tax deductions available for capital expenditure on Landcare measures
* Volunteer labour often available to assist eg: Greencorps workteams help with fencing and tree planting
* Improved health of the catchment and a legacy for future generations
