What we do

The Derwent Catchment Project was set up to assist landholders to restore and maintain natural and agricultural landscapes across this challenging environment, to ensure a prosperous and sustainable future for the Derwent Catchment.

On-ground works

We have assembled an on-ground works crew who know the region and have the relationships, knowledge and equipment to get the job done. The team is out every day, working on best-practice weed management and revegetation projects. We also offer these services as contractors for private jobs.

Facilitation and community

Since 2014, our staff have worked hard to gain support in the region. This support is reflected in the success of the projects that are being delivered in collaboration with our partners and the wider community. Our team employs a facilitated, peer-learning approach to extension which tailors best-practice information to local conditions and incorporates the experience and knowledge of local leaders and modernisers.

Managing projects

Our team has extensive project management capacity, delivering results you can see on the ground. We have expertise in project design, monitoring and evaluation, and a strong desire to get the best outcome for the dollars invested. We have delivered or are delivering multiple large projects through funding from the Australian Government as well as industry and state government.
