This Regional Knowledge Resource Kit has been developed by the Knowledge for Regional NRM Program of Land & Water Australia, funded by the Australian Government through the Natural Heritage Trust (NHT). The Knowledge for Regional NRM Program’s overarching aim has been to facilitate better linkages between regional NRM bodies and knowledge providers, and to assist regional NRM bodies to better manage their information and knowledge.
