No stimulation for Landcare

Of the $42 billion in the Commonwealth's economic stimulation package, not a cent made its way to Landcare.

"It beggars belief," said David Walker, chairman of Landcare NSW. "We've got all this money to spend, we could be thinking globally and acting locally by working on the environment and renewable energy, and yet we're doing what we've always done.

"What better way is there of investing in our future than ensuring the productivity, sustainability and resilience of our land, particularly as we confront climate change?"
