Welcome
Upper Snowy Landcare Network is a volunteer-led community organisation operating across the Monaro tableland on Ngarigo country, in the foothills of the Snowy Mountains and home to the famous Snowy River.
The region is highly productive for livestock grazing and contains some of the most valuable native grasslands and woodlands in Australia.
Through education, field days and on-ground projects, we work with landholders and land management agencies to protect and preserve the natural environment in our region.
Our 2026 Theme is
Raptors of the Snowy Monaro
Hungry Owlet – Zarlee Davis
Our theme is celebrated each year in a calendar with artworks from local schools.

Our district can be seen in the below map in light blue. We neighbour Upper Murrumbidgee Landcare, seen in light purple, and Snowy River Interstate Landcare, seen in dark purple.
