Natural Resource Management Strategic Plan 2009-2013
Written by Administrator   
Friday, 08 May 2009
Northern Territory Horticultural Association - Driving sustainable horticulture and responsible environmental management in the Northern Territory.
The Northern Territory Horticultural Association (NTHA) is committed to improving the sustainability and natural resource management practices of horticulture businesses in the NT. An essential foundation of that commitment has been the production of this Natural Resource Management Strategic Plan.
The plan covers all horticulture in the NT (not just NTHA industries or members) and has been produced in close cooperation with the NT Department of Regional Development, Primary Industry, Fisheries and Resources (RDPIFR) and other key stakeholder groups. Development of the plan was funded by the Federal Government’s National Landcare Program (NLP) through Horticulture Australia Ltd (HAL).
