Develop an information package which can be provided to residents throughout the shire, with details on the local environment and land management practices.
Why it is Important?
Increasing awareness of the local environment by providing easily accessible, reliable information will ensure better community understanding and stewardship. It will help locals and people new to the area ensure their actions are not having unintended impacts on the environment. An increased understanding can minimise potential damage to the environment, as well as support protection and restoration of natural areas.
Examples of Local Action
- Coordinate with Douglas Shire Council to make available a landholder information kit to all shire residents, including information on weeds, feral animals, waterway management, wildlife, management of domestic pets, etc.
