We are a leading not-for-profit environmental organisation with 25 years of experience delivering evidence-based, collaborative action with our members and partners to benefit the globally unique South West environment and communities.
We’re an NRM! This is our South West…
As one of 54 Natural Resource Management (NRM) organisations across Australia, we are responsible for delivering innovative solutions to the great environmental challenges of our time across the natural and farmed landscapes. We’re a registered charity, raising funds for the South West Environment Public Fund which helps us to expand our work. We’re also an Incorporated Association, of aligned organisations, collaborating to amplify our collective impact.
We began life over 25 years ago as South West Catchments Council.
Now, we urgently need to do more.
We feel the weight of time and know it is critical that we address the triple threat to our South West of climate change, biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation by 2030. We’re scaling up our work with industry, government, community, and landholders and invite you to be part of the solution.
