This Working Paper synthesises material from previous project reports and papers, and a project workshop held in August 2006, to review the progress of Landcare over 10 years. The purpose is to identify key lessons from this experience for sustaining and scaling up Landcare in the future. As it is a synthesis paper drawing on many published and unpublished sources, referencing of specific sources has been omitted. The conclusions in the paper are still provisional, subject to ongoing critical evaluation in the final year of the Project, but they are presented here as a basis for discussion and planning.
