Community Environment Network
Border Ranges
Overview
CEN is an alliance of community and environment groups operating between the Hawkesbury and Hunter Rivers. We work for Ecologically Sustainable Development and against threats to it.
CEN also co-ordinates NSW Land for Wildlife and other state programs such as Community Seagrass Monitoring.
We are working with a variety of stakeholders in the Northern Rivers and Tablelands region on Land for Wildlife.
What we do
Land for Wildlife is a Nationally recognized scheme of voluntary property registration.
It aims to assist landholders, who wish to become involved, to maintain wildlife habitats on their land. Registration is free and non-binding. The good faith agreement, between CEN and the land holders, does not change the legal status of the properties.
The program is available to landholders who:
- Have properties with half a hectare or more of native bush land
- Are willing to manage all or part of their property in an environmentally sustainable way
The Land for Wildlife program is available to private landholders who own properties ranging from small bush blocks up to large farming and grazing operations.
What we have achieved
Land for Wildlife Regional Providers have been established for Byron Shire and Northern Landcare Services provide Land for Wildlife in Lismore, Kyogle and Richmond Valley Shires.
Discussions are occurring with many other councils and organisations in the Northern Rivers Region.
