Our membership extends beyond the Jiggi Catchment to adjacent valleys; Rock Valley, Goolmangar and Nimbin. Jiggi Catchment Landcare Group Inc is a community-based organisation operating in the Jiggi Creek and adjacent catchments, in Northern NSW. The group has played a major role in raising awareness, influencing farming and land management practices and delivering environmental outcomes throughout the catchments. The group accesses funding to assist landowners to care for their land. The work undertaken captures a range of activities such as soil conservation, management of erosion through revegetation of stream banks, sustainable farm practices, restoration of native habitats, revegetation to enhance these habitats, control of weeds and pests and the development of local natural resource management skills and knowledge. We work with farmers and landholders who are already undertaking this important work but need some assistance to reach their goals. Our focus is to look after ‘our catchment’ and partner with other Landcare groups and public land managers to ensure the land and water we all use for agriculture and our natural environment remains healthy and sustainable.
