Through interaction with the local community the Community Landcare Officer (CLO) delivers relevant workshops, provides on-site property visits and current information for best practice Landcare in the Bridgetown-Greenbushes Shire. 

The Bridgetown-Greenbushes Shire continues to provide funding to the Blackwood Environment Society (BES), who manage and administer the Landcare Office and CLO position for three days a week and provide on-ground outcomes to residents.
