About HRLN

The Hunter Region Landcare Network (HRLN) was formed in 1998 as a voluntary association of Landcare groups in the Upper and Lower Hunter, Lake Macquarie and Port Stephens regions.

The Hunter Region Landcare Network has a vital role to play in the management of the catchment’s natural resources, as well as in the maintenance and development of its social and cultural assets.

The Hunter Region Landcare Network fosters, supports and facilitates regional Natural Resources Management (NRM) activities and this includes developing partnerships with Government, private landowners, community groups and Aboriginal land councils as well as corporate bodies.

The main objectives of the Hunter Region Landcare Network are:

  • Encouraging the growth of sustainable and productive partnerships based on cooperative efforts to maintain our regional assets
