The Marree Soil Board District is located in the far north -eastern corner of South Australia. It covers an area of over 200,000 square kilometres, equivalent to the size of Victoria. Members of this dynamic, highly motivated team of land managers include pastoralists, parks staff and petroleum industry representatives dedicated to building a shared landcare ethic for community benefit and survival.
The Board, through its involvement in, and promotion of, landcare activities, is working towards raising awareness in the local and wider community regarding landcare in the Soil Conservation District. There is a recognition that communication is a vital key to success so a great deal of emphasis is placed on establishing broad networks of people, within and outside of the district, for communicating and sharing information.
However, the board members believe that landcare and the sustained health of the land rely on maintaining viable industries and improving the quality of production. Partnerships with agribusiness and government agencies are essential for gaining access to and promoting the most current information. Record keeping is fundamental for any successful business. The Board is also keen to encourage producers to maintain relevant records on land condition.
