The Northern Slopes Landcare Association was established in 1998 to bring together various Local Landcare Groups under one umbrella organisation that spans the Gwydir, Moree Plains, Narrabri, and Walgett Local Government areas. Our Association is managed by a committee representing these regions and employs dedicated staff to support a diverse range of groups — including rural, urban, and peri-urban communities — in achieving our vision of Healthy Landscapes, Healthy Food, and Healthy People.

With over 200 members, we engage in a variety of activities, including farmer collaborations and educational projects focused on regenerative practices, operating a Community Nursery, promoting biodiversity conservation, restoring rivers, and managing invasive species. As an active member of North West Regional Land carers, we collaborate closely with North West Local Land Services, Local Government, and various stakeholders to ensure our projects and activities are efficient, effective, and strategically aligned.
