Hunter Local Land Services

The Every Bit Counts program connects like-minded people trying to understand and improve their land, their production capacity and the environment. The program provides access to best practice knowledge, advice and peer-to-peer support networks that recognise the wide range of priorities and land uses that exist on small farms and lifestyle properties within Singleton. 

Through this program you can explore information of topics such as:

• Rural property ownership
• Farm safety
• Livestock and poultry
• Water (production)
• Weeds 
• Soil and groundcover
• Aboriginal cultural heritage
• Native vegetation
• Pest animals 
• Preparing for emergencies 
• Horticulture 
• Water (environment)
• Wildlife

This program was assisted by the NSW Government through its Environmental Trust. Find out more about the project.

‘Government, industry and the people of NSW working together to protect the economy, environment and community from the negative impacts of animal and plant pests, diseases and weeds for the benefit of the people of NSW”

Weeds are a major threat to Australia’s natural environment. The Regional Strategic Weed Management Plan intends to prioritise the most important weeds in the region and guide management efforts.

Pest animals have a significant impact on agricultural production, industry, the environment and communities in the Hunter region. 

The Hunter Regional Strategic Pest Animal Management Plan (RSPAMP) outlines how Government, industry and the community can work together and share the responsibility to remove, contain or manage pest animals in terrestrial and freshwater aquatic environments across the region.

The overall purpose of the RSPAMP is to work together to protect the environment, community and economy from the negative impacts of pest animals to support positive outcomes for biosecurity and sustainable landscapes.
