The South Gippsland Landcare Network (SGLN) was formed in 1995 and today is made up of 16 member Landcare groups and over 500 families who manage and farm the land. The success of the network is due to the inspiring contributions made by the passionate individuals and volunteers.

Who are we
Our network is made up of 16 local groups working to preserve and protect the natural environment, while also enhancing the long-term sustainability of farming in this part of Victoria.
Our members are primary producers, hobby farmers, tree changers, backyard gardeners and environmentalists of all sorts – a diverse group that finds common ground in caring for the land and building community
