Pre-Muster Survey

Landcare NSW works to serve community Landcare in NSW by providing a representative voice, member services and support. The NSW Landcare Muster is an opportunity for the diverse Landcare community to capture collective issues and consistent themes. The ‘many hands one voice’ outcome of the Muster guides the actions of Landcare NSW between Musters.  

The Muster is an important way that Landcare NSW can ensure its work is directed by the grassroots members it serves. Information captured from the Musters is utilised by the representative Council of Landcare NSW to develop policy, programs and support services.

Make Muster 2017 relevant to you, by completing this survey and shaping the design and topics of the day!
