The Catchment is 1,800 hectares and is home for over 400 private residences, farms and businesses. Still Creek runs for about 8 Kilometres before running into Berowra Creek at Crosslands and then to the Hawkesbury estuary. The catchment includes the tributaries Charltons, Halls and George Hall Creeks and parts of the communities Galston, Arcadia and Berrilee.
Our Vision is of a community brought together to provide a healthy catchment environment for our children and future generations.
Our Mission is to inform the community of our catchment on the merits of protecting and improving our land and water quality to the benefit of all in our region.
Our objectives are to work with our community:
- Generating enthusiasm and providing information
- Advising on what can be done
- Providing examples of what can be done
We want to enable people to:
- Work smartly on their own land
- Work with neighbours and friends
- Help across the catchment
Landcare is about good land management practices that improve our yields and extend the life of our properties. Practices that result in improved Water Quality, Soil Productivity and a Healthy Natural Environment for us and our neighbours.
