QUESTION:  In what ways would you like to see the Australian landcare movement March Forward?

Funding scenarios demand that we do more with less, this requires strong communication and collaboration to build capacity and impact.  I would like to see more funding to build capacity of landcare to collaborate with partners and for on ground action and celebrate true recognition and appreciation for the amazing work of local landcarers.
