PLCs in Action: PLC Matters Wraps Up for Another Year!
We’re excited to share the official wrap‑up article from the BCT about the PLC Matters program and its impact on private
land conservation
across New South Wales: PLC Matters inspires private land
conservation across NSW.
Since launching in June 2023, BCT and Landcare NSW have teamed up through PLC Matters to
develop a thriving network of landholders committed to safeguarding biodiversity. By June 2025, they had delivered 143
events
across the state, engaging nearly 2,200 participants in field days, workshops, and storytelling sessions. plcm.landcarensw.net.au+5bct.nsw.gov.au+5bct.nsw.gov.au+5
The program’s impact is clear:
- ✅ 90 % of participants reported high satisfaction and felt inspired to take conservation action
- ✅ 85 % said they could directly apply what they learned to their own land
- ✅ Knowledge increased from an average of 41 to 58 on a 100‑point scale
-
✅ Over 30 partner organisations are now collaborating with BCT and Landcare NSW bct.nsw.gov.au
From practical learning and community building to empowering landholders to protect threatened species and landscapes, PLC Matters is making a real difference for conservation on private land.

environment and biodiversity.
Tree hollows and fallen logs provide important homes for Australian wildlife, but they’re disappearing at an alarming rate.
Trees provide critical habitat for native wildlife to forage, shelter, roost and nest. Hollow bearing trees are particularly important, as
