Are you or your group interested in joining us in 2010?

Individual Membership

Community Group Membership

Corporate Membership

The Group has been active since 2004 and in this short time has developed some impressive initiatives including the production and implementation of the Molonglo Catchment Strategy, culminating in the Australian Government Regional Landcare Award for the ACT in 2005. The implementation of the Strategy is underway, having provided support to landholders undertaking riparian rehabilitation works within priority sub-catchments through funding under the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program, the current projects continue in a similar vein, with incentives supported by the Australian Government's Caring for our Country initiative. The Group facilitates the Molonglo Catchment Health indicators Program (M-CHiP), a community water-quality monitoring program throughout the catchment.

What do you get for your membership?

The Group will, amongst other things:

• provide assistance in the development of projects and sponsor applications for grants such as Australian Government Community Action Grants and ACT and NSW Government Environment Grants by members and member groups, and assist with administration of the grant;
• provide a fortnightly electronic bulletin with information about items of interest, coming events and funding opportunities in the Molonglo catchment;
• consider requests to subsidise training such as ChemCert, First Aid Certificate, Chainsaw Operation Certificate and relevant forum/workshop attendance by members and member groups’ members;
• provide expertise on local vegetation; and
• provide assistance with River and Grassland Restoration.

For new and renewing member groups and organisations, we have also put together a ‘show-bag’ ( 102KB) of goodies.
