Who We Are & What We Do
The Glen Innes Natural Resources Advisory Committee (GLENRAC) was formed on 22nd June 1989 by a group of people interested in land management and land conservation issues in the local area. GLENRAC became an incorporated body in 1992.
GLENRAC celebrated 20 years of service to the community of Glen Innes and its districts during the 2009 Landcare Adventure.
GLENRAC works in unison with landholders, local government agencies, and Federal and State government departments such as the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water, NSW Department of Industry & Investment, and the Northern Rivers and Border Rivers-Gwydir Catchment Management Authorities. Read what GLENRAC can do for you in its new information brochure, available online and at the GLENRAC office.
