Organic Landcare means healthy soils, healthy plants, healthy animals. We take an Ecological Restoration approach towards conservation rather than that of a War on Weeds. We believe that soil is more than dirt and that it is the health of the complex ecosystem of soil organisms that we need to regain and maintain as the basis for ecosystem health.
There are two key areas for our approach:
We are an independent, not-for-profit organisation with two purposes as commissioned contractors.
1. Offering environmental education, reforestation, bush regeneration and ecological restoration centred around the Byron Bay area, Northern Rivers, NSW and beyond.
2. Consultancy on organic chemical free environmental weed management.
We have 28 years experience on bush regeneration, with the last 13 years specialising in chemical free organic environmental weed management with zero herbicides.
Since 2010 we have been working as Byron Shire Chemical Free Landcare Group (BSCFL) and our principles haven't changed. However our work has grown beyond the Byron Bay area. To encompass it Organic Landcare Incorporated (OLI) was founded in 2022 to include a wider geographic region and more services. The BSCFL project will continue on as a project working on public land in Saltwater Creek and Brunswick Heads dunes, under the umbrella of OLI.
Contact us if you have a property with potential for some bush regeneration or ecological restoration. We can take a walk on the land with you and discuss possible plans.
