About us

Western Murray Land Improvement Group, is a not-for-profit Landcare group and registered charity based in Barham, NSW, located beside the Murray River and operating across diverse bushland, agricultural, and floodplain landscapes.  We were established in 2003 by a group of local farmers who recognised the importance of sustainable agriculture practices with a focus on local Landcare and management systems.
