Mr Raymond Borland Bequest
The Durness-Borland Landcare Corridor was made possible because of a philanthropic bequest from the Estate of the late Mr Raymond Borland. During extended journeys through the NSW countryside, Mr Borland became concerned about the extent and severity of landscape and water quality degradation that he often encountered. He was impressed by the achievements of local Landcare groups in repairing the degraded areas. Mr Borland’s Estate provided a bequest to Landcare Australia to assist volunteer Landcare groups restore and protect our environment for future generations.
Located north of Newcastle in NSW, the Durness-Borland Landcare Corridor is a biodiversity conservation project that will start reconnecting the landscape from the coast, to the Myall Lakes National Park and ultimately the Barrington Tops National Park World Heritage Area.
The Durness-Borland Landcare Corridor project is a partnership between local community, private landholders, local government, catchment management authorities and Landcare Australia.
Environmental outcomes include:
- 70km biodiversity corridor
- 55,000 trees planted
- Improved biodiversity
- Kore Kore Conservation area providing community access and education about the project
- Protect and reinstate wildlife connectivity
- Repair and prevent erosion
- Improve water quality
- Improve agricultural productivity and sustainability on Durness Station
- Protect and manage Durness Swamp to enhance its ecological value
This project is an example of what Landcare is – developing partnerships to connect community and the environment.
To celebrate Landcare Week, Landcare Australia launched the Borland-Durness Landcare Corridor with a community planting day. Below is a video sharing the success and dedication of our Landcare volunteers with you.
