Current Projects

 

on-farm water management

The On-Farm Water Management project aims to reduce the impact of drought through the preparation and implementation of on-farm water management plans (FWMP). We are proud to be working with West Hume Landcare to deliver a series of workshops and events in 2025.

 

threatened orchid conservation

The Oaklands Donkey Orchid or Oaklands Diuris (Diuris callitrophila) is listed as Endangered in NSW. In a collaborative effort, more than six thousand native orchids have been planted across the NSW Murray region as part of Australia’s largest orchid translocation project, saving these species from extinction.

 

RIVER STREET WETLANDS

Restoring and managing the River Street Wetlands is creating a thriving nature hub in the centre of Corowa. Led by the Friends of River Street Wetlands, regular working bees and community efforts are demonstrating ever-changing improvement in site condition.

 

saving the nectar sippers / birds on farms

In a partnership between BirdLife Australia, West Hume Landcare and Corowa District Landcare, the Southern NSW Birds on Farms project, Saving the Nectar Sippers, is running in the South West Slopes region of southern NSW until August 2026. Its key focus is on driving the implementation of private land management approaches to assist recovery of declining woodland birds.
