The National Landcare Network comprises the NLN Board & Members Council
The NLN Board comprises 8 members, one Director from each NLN Member State and Territory. The Chair and Vice-Chair are appointed from within their numbers. The Board is not representative, rather its function is to administer and direct the activities of the NLN.
The Members Council is the representative heart of the NLN and is comprised of 24 grassroots Landcarers, 3 from each State and Territory. The Board and Members Council work independently of each other but in constant collaboration with high levels of consultation and feedback between each.
The Board and Members Council are supported by a small dedicated team including the CEO, Jim Adams and support staff.

How We Work
The Members’ Council provides the national representative forum for the identification, evaluation, debate and resolution of issues for Community Landcare across Australia. The Council is responsible for establishing a system for regular consultation and engagement of members and stakeholders in order to represent the majority of Landcare and related organisations in their respective states and territories.
The Board of Directors is informed by the Members Council and input from the states and territories and provides the strategic and administrative direction for the National Landcare Network.
Community Led, Community Driven

Step 3
The Board of Directors is informed by the Members Council on matters of Landcare Policy.
