Capacity Building through the `care' programs has had mixed success in the rangelands of NSW. Implementation of these programs in the rangelands has faced many challenges including distance, scale, isolation and the lack of both human and financial resources. A survey carried out to evaluate the programs and to gain an understanding of the future needs for these types of projects is detailed here.
Results from this survey have shown that: there is wide recognition for the "Landcare" brand name; the objectives of the programs are generally well supported; and that a better delivery mechanism for these programs may be required.
