The Upper Gwydir Landcare Association (UGLA) was formed in 1998 to bring together the numerous local Landcare Groups under an umbrella organisation that broadly covers Bingara, Warialda, Gravesend, Rocky Creek and Upper Horton areas of the Gwydir Shire.
The Association is managed by a committee that is made up of representatives from those areas. It employs a Community Support Officer who assists the Landcare Groups, community groups and individuals to source information on natural resource management and to manage the day to day running of the association.
The UGLA works closely with the Border Rivers - Gwydir Catchment Management Authority and other Government instrumentalities to co-ordinate Natural Resource Management projects within its area.
