Kyogle landholder Don Durrant has owned his lush rainforest property for 30 years and he's lost count of the number of native trees he’s propagated and planted in that time.

One year on from launching the Private Land Conservation Matters program with Landcare NSW, we’ve seen more than 1400 conservation-minded landholders come together at 46 events across the state.
The program supports landholders to learn, carry out and extend the use of best practice in private land conservation.
