Landcare groups in this area:
Kulkyne Way Landcare Group
Kulkyne Way Landcare Group is a member of the Northern Mallee Network. Residents of the Karadoc, Iraak, Nangiloc, and Colignan communities formed the Kulkyne Way Landcare Group (KW LcG) in June 2002.
Millewa Carwarp
Background: The Millewa-Carwarp Landcare Group is the oldest Landcare group in the Mallee region and was formed in 1989 after the community recognised the need for all land managers to start working together to manage the limited natural resources in the area rather than doing so in isolation. The group is located in the North West corner of the Mallee region consisting of 85 farming enterprises and covering an area of over 500,000 hectares in totel. The group has over the years implemented an impressive range of on-ground works that continue to benefit the community through to this day. As recognition for their efforts the group has received a number of awards for their achievements including: The Victorian Community Landcare award (1993), The Victorian Landcare Award (1994) and the The Hansloe Cup for Sustainable Agriculture (2000). Of the 85 farming enterprises at least 70% of the properties participate in Landcare activities. These include workshops, field days, noxious weed and vermin control programs along with revegetation and protection of remanent native bushland on both private and public land.
Yelta Landcare Group
The Yelta Landcare Group formed in 1995 to provide local input into local issues, increase awareness of the issues and have a positive impact on them. There was concern with degradation of the river environment, water quality, salinity and increasing incidence of pest plants. The Yelta Landcare Group area is located west of Mildura and is bordered by the River Murray to the north, Meridian Road to the west, Sturt Highway and Ontario Avenue to the south and an imaginary line extending 15th Street through Lake Ranfurly to the River Murray in the east. There are approximately 70 landowners that make up the Yelta area covering 40,000ha. The major land use is horticulture, with some remaining dryland farming areas being converted to irrigation (major dryland and irrigation crops grown) viticulture and cereal cropping. The closest town in relation to the Yelta area is Merbein with Crown Land of varying types covering the Riverine area managed by Parks Victoria and the Department of Sustainability and Environment.
