Manning Landcare manages a number of key projects in the local area.

Partnerships Project

Manning & Great Lakes Landcare Committees in conjunction with Conservation Volunteers Australia successfully applied for funds through the Partnerships Program from Hunter Central Rivers Catchment Management Authority. A trained supervisor works with the volunteers and landholders. Some of the volunteers are local and some are overseas visitors that want the opportunity to work on regeneration projects in our area. For landholders the program provides some much needed help with weeding and planting on riparian sites. The team will be working on locations in Wherrol Flat, Manning area and a site in Nabiac. The program will run until the end of June 2009.

Indian Myna Bird Project

Manning Landcare has traps available for loan. Information booklets to educate members of the community are available. Bin stickers are also being distributed to areas that are known scavenging sites for the birds. More information on this project is available online at: www.indianmyna.org.
