Held during October in Broken Hill, the NSW Landcare Awards feature 10 categories ranging from individual to group awards.
Representative of Southern New England Landcare, Karen Zirkler, said she was thrilled that a local had won the award.
“Wilmott Cattle Co has done an incredible job despite the hardship they have endured this year," she said.
CEO of Landcare NSW, Dr Adrian Zammit, said the awards were a chance for each Landcare region and group to share their stories and successes from across the state to their fellow Landcarers.
“The NSW Landcare Awards highlight the incredible work that our Landcare community do. The < Landcare Group> are doing an amazing job in building sustainable landscapes and sustainable communities.”
“On behalf of the Landcare NSW community, I congratulate Wilmott Cattle Co for winning the Landcare Farming Award.
“Landcare is about communities working together to create positive outcomes for the environment and the agricultural landscapes across NSW. It has never been more important that we continue to support and recognise the dedication and commitment of our Landcarers and recognise their tremendous efforts,” said Dr Zammit.
Grand champions of the NSW National Award categories will now go on to represent the whole NSW Landcare Community at the 2020 National Landcare Awards in Sydney.
