Howqua Valley Landcare Group
The Howqua Valley Landcare Group was established around 1999 to bring together residents and landholders who share a deep care and concern for the health and beauty of the Howqua Valley.
The group provides a network for people committed to protecting and enhancing the valley’s unique environment — from its scenic landscapes and rich wildlife to the pristine waters of the Heritage-listed Howqua River.
Members meet quarterly, often hosting guest speakers on topics of local and environmental interest. The group actively promotes understanding of the valley and its land uses through self-education, seminars, and information days, all with the goal of encouraging sustainable and regenerative land management practices.
Howqua Valley Landcare also works to:
Safeguard the valley’s aesthetic and environmental values for residents and visitors
Monitor water quality, land health, and wildlife
Engage in fire management awareness and planning
Keep watch on development proposals and their potential environmental impacts
Represent members’ views to relevant authorities and government bodies
Foster knowledge of the valley’s historical, cultural, and ecological significance
The Howqua Valley Landcare Group continues to advocate for the long-term care and conservation of this special part of the Mansfield Shire.
