At times there seems to be some confusion about who to call out to Landcare sites from Lake Macquarie Landcare.

• If the request is a simple resource request for plants, mulch, Green Team assistance, bush regeneration assistance, tools, or equipment as part of your normal Landcare group work, any of our staff can help you to fill out a resource request form.
• If you need someone to visit your site because of a proposed change in your group’s Agreed Action Plan, or there has been an external impact on your site (e.g. fire, vandalism), or you need to discuss extension of project work that involves LMCC permission or budgets, then you will need to speak to the LMCC Landcare Coordinator, Jason Harvey or the Landcare Projects Delivery Officer, Simon Lubinski.
• If you need help with communication, publicity, newsletter articles, event coordination or booking in for meetings/workshops, etc. then you will need to speak to the Network Administration and Support Officer Debra Punton, Publications Officer Kate Meares, or Stephanie Cassel the Communications Officer.

If you’re not sure who you need, call Lake Macquarie Landcare on 02 4921 0392 and outline what you need, and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Landcare Team Leaders are volunteers that coordinate Landcare activities by volunteers on-site, in line with the site’s Agreed Action Plan. To ensure that Landcare sites are safe workplaces and that Landcare works are appropriate, all Landcare groups must have at least one qualified Team Leader.
