OTHER PARTNERS

Since forming in 1996, the HDLN has established many strong and valued relationships with government and industry groups operating throughout the HDLN region. The existence of a good working relationship has provided an avenue for many partnership initiatives delivering NRM support along with building the community’s capacity to address land management issues.    

After supporting and representing community NRM and environmental groups within the HDLN region for almost 15 years, the HDLN has evolved to provide a conduit link between agency/industry and the community. This is a role the HDLN takes great pride in being able to deliver.
