Nature Conservation Council

The Nature Conservation Council of NSW (NCC) was established in 1955 to provide a united voice for community environmental organisations from across the state. Representing more than 200 community organisations with a combined membership of over 60,000 individuals, we are a force for positive change. Together, we provide a powerful voice for nature and are committed to protecting and restoring the unique natural environment of our state. In addition to this work, NCC’s Healthy Ecosystems Program through the Hotspots Fire Project, Bushfire Program and Large Forest Owl Project is forming lasting alliances with farmers, Traditional Owners, public land managers and the community, to deliver real-world solutions to natural resource management challenges, including fire management, invasive species control and habitat restoration through partnerships such as the Jaliigirr Biodiversity Alliance, Northern Rivers Fire and Biodiversity Consortium, Great Eastern Ranges Initiative and the NSW Environmental Trust.
