Abstract: How farming practices have had an impact on the environment, fifty changes are needed to ovoid permanent (irreversible) damage to the enwonnent.. How the 'Landcare ’ movement started anew attitude to environmental management and how these 'fragmented projects' are now being ‘massaged' into district and regional plans. The Victorian Government is promoting ‘Catchment Management Authorities ’ in nine regions of their state. How the ‘North East Region Catchment Management Authority ’ is coping with the aspirations of both the community and the Government. There are a multitude of policies, plans and strategies: For Weeds, Salinity, Water Quality, Stream Restoration and Regional development, just to name a few. I will try to present my vision of how these plans are being adopted and influence the environmental management in my part of Victoria, Australia.
