Welcome to the HDLN Website!

  

The Heytesbury and District Landcare Network (HDLN) is a community based organisation that provides support to Landcare groups, community groups, individual farmers and land managers in addressing environmental and natural resource management issues that are seen as a community priority within the Network area. 

  

The HDLN aims to work with and increase the community’s capacity to understand and implement sustainable land management practices at a local level. 

  

Representatives of the HDLN executive committee are made up of volunteer community members that are elected annually and meet monthly to provide direction for the HDLN.
