- Summary:
-
"Has any Landcare group, anywhere in Australia, been accorded a detailed history? Probably not. Why, then, should this privilege fall upon the Midlands Tree Committee, and who might find such a history salutary? The Midlands Tree Committee hold iconic status within Landcare Tasmania, a status that, as we shall see, has at times been recognized nationally. In terms of longevity and impact. It is not just another Landcare group. It blazed a path for others and its pre-eminence in this regard merits acknowledgement. ... It describes a volunteer organisation navigating the unpredictable seas of regime change in Canberra. It chart's seismic shifts in landcaring philosophy - in which volunteerism itself it pitched into crisis. It notes evolving ideas of what constitutes best on-ground farm conservation practice, and the ways in which one volunteer organisation has reacted to such complexity. It is a story of dedicated and practical caring for a land much loved."--Back cover.
