Managing the Land

NQ Dry Tropics is all about helping people to look after their land in a sustainable way that doesn't compromise production or value.

Managing the land is about controlling weeds and degradation - like erosion, looking after native habitat and water and understanding what your obligations are as a landholder.

The Department of Environment, Resources and Management can help you with more information.

Your local Landcare group can also help you. Peter Arthofer at NQ Dry Tropics can point you in the right direction of your local Landcare group 07 4724 3544.
