Release of Engagement Findings Report - June 2022
Conducted between February and May 2022 – via workshops, interviews and an online survey – a number of important themes and recommendations emerged from the consultation phase:
• Raise the profile of landcare
• Improve advocacy for landcare
• Increase and improve funding for landcare
• Build the capacity of landcare
• Build Traditional Owner Partnerships
This phase was supported by the Victorian Government and involved a wide cross section of the Landcare movement and partners and is intended to help frame the plan development phase.
The landcare movement clearly wants to see a more equal and honest relationship between government and the community around addressing the various crises we face (such as adapting to climate change, addressing biodiversity decline and sustainable farming), and greater support for community landcare to help lead our more effective collective response.
Engagement to gather input into potential solutions and ways forward for the challenges and opportunities identified in the 2022 Landcare Plan Engagement Findings Report was held via a series of online workshops in December 2022.
