Our Purpose

The Bremer River Network (BRN) is a network of Landcare, catchment and environment groups within the Bremer River Catchment area. Established in 2016, the Bremer River Network serves as a banner under which catchment management programs and projects, groups and organisations can communicate with single clear vision and objective. The Network facilitates collaboration between the member groups and provides an avenue for communication within and between different stakeholder groups. The Bremer River Network is guided by the principles underpinning the Bremer River Fund.
