The group has assisted landholders to undertake significant blackberry control projects, particularly in the eastern and upper catchment.
Tintaldra Landcare Group
Tintaldra Landcare Group is located around the township of Tintaldra, on the Murray River. The area includes the eastern edge of Burrowa-Pine Mountain Park, the lower section of Cudgewa Creek, and east to Horse Creek and towards Corryong along the Murray. This group formed in 1995. The major issues for the group include; weed control; revegetation; stream management and erosion control.

Further funding has also been gained from NLP and Envirofunds for revegetation projects in the group area.

The area of the group has considerably expanded in recent years to cover the Granya and Thologolong areas in addition to the initial areas covered when formed. Many landholders work off-farm, or are lifestyle farmers, commuting to Wodonga or Albury. The area suffers from major gully and creek erosion in some catchments, plus widespread weed infestations.
