Who we are

The Dalrymple Landcare Committee was formed in 1988 as a producer driven self- help group aimed at improving producer awareness and understanding of land management in the Burdekin Rangelands. Since 1988, the DLC has remained a strong and effective Landcare committee in the Charters Towers Region, covering some 70 000km2 and working with over 320 landholder members.At the peak of Landcare projects, 17 sub-catchment Landcare groups existed in the region. As a result of these activities, over 57 successful projects have been designed, implemented and managed by the DLC through the numerous executors and staff.The DLC has been operating for over 30 years and remains the key Landcare group in the region, with continued focus on improved Rangeland management as well as enhanced skills and understanding of how primary production systems can be managed to maintain and enhance the natural resources in the region.

A DLC logo which has endured for 30 years, was designed by Eugene Matthews from Blue Range. This features a beef animal in a natural setting of grass, trees and soil inside a raindrop (not a teardrop as someone suggested!)
