About us

Picture
At Western Murray Land Improvement Group our purpose is to enrich our community through the power of innovative thinking and knowledge sharing.

​We are a not-for-profit and registered charity organisation based in Barham, NSW on Barapa Barapa land. 
We are a Landcare host organisation and together with four other groups form the Murray Landcare Collective.
​

We were established in 2003 by a group of passionate regional producers and community members.

​Today we
are governed by a 10-member board with a diverse skillset that represent local community needs.
