Hawkesbury-Nepean Landcare Network
Hawkesbury-Nepean Landcare Network
HNLN is a community-based organisation set up for landholders and the community in Hawkesbury, Hills Shire, Penrith and Blacktown, to access advice, support and on-ground resources, towards improved land management.
It aims to connect the community and empower action through Landcaring including conservation on properties and reserves, school projects, small-scale and sustainable agriculture, weed management, caring for waterways, citizen science and more.
We connect individuals and our members to a local group that matches their interests and/or we help them start their own group. HNLN also forms and manages projects and funding partnerships on a regional and local scale for the benefit of our member groups.
If you would like assistance with information, getting involved or starting a project, please contact us!
