In July this year the Border Ranges Richmond Valley Landcare Network officially settled in the building that has housed the Northern Landcare Support Services for many years. This transition is an exciting new era bringing with it some changes to the way we operate and to the services available.

The office is open for Landcare enquiries on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 10am and 2pm. If you haven't found us yet come along and familiarize yourself with the abundance of Landcare resources available.

In order to ensure that our door remains open into the future, BRRVLN has opened up a new office space in the building available for rent. If this office is of interest to you, please pop in and explore the space and discuss your needs with us.
