Why was the Headwater Custodians formed?
Our vision is to unite landholders across the Great Dividing Range’s unique watershed, where waters flow both east to the Clarence River and west to the Murray-Darling Basin. As Headwater Custodians, we recognize our profound responsibility as stewards of these vital headwaters and their surrounding landscapes.
We envision a future where our agricultural communities thrive through innovative land management that enhances both farm productivity and natural ecosystems. By working together, we will create landscape-scale improvements that protect our water resources, build soil health, and preserve biodiversity across our region’s diverse terrain – from Acacia Creek to Washpool National Park.
Through participation in emerging nature-repair markets and adoption of regenerative practices, we aim to demonstrate that environmental stewardship and economic prosperity can work hand in hand. Our collective actions will not only benefit our local communities but will have far-reaching positive impacts on the health of two of Australia’s major river systems.
Together, we are pioneering a model of collaborative land management that secures a resilient future for our farms while protecting the natural heritage that makes our headwater region extraordinary. Want to know more check out our approach.
