What drives successful and effective NRM outcomes? To make your NRM knowledge count, fill in the NESP Resilient Landscape survey that will be used to inform future government programs. The more diverse voices from across Australia that engage, the more representative the research outcomes will be.

Submitting a survey will also get you into the draw to win one of 8 conference packages – including two for the 2025 NRM Knowledge Conference! Conference packages include free conference registration and a $1,000 travel voucher. 

NRM Regions Australia has contributed to the development of the survey, alongside the researchers and the National Landcare Network.

Success for resilient landscapes survey information (2 MB)

What helps or hinders your efforts to manage natural resources such as land, water, soil, plants and animals?

If you are a land manager or engaged in what we call ‘natural resource management activities’ we invite you to share your unique experiences and insights on what truly makes your efforts effective.

Natural resource management activities include a very broad range of actions, to restore or rehabilitate landscapes, to protect threatened species, to change agricultural practices for sustainable outcomes, or to otherwise improve and maintain natural resources.

 

Sections below

For over 30 years, research has provided valuable insights into the factors that drive or hinder success in natural resource management activities. But we know that true success is best defined by those directly involved in these efforts.

Help us learn from your experiences, achievements, or aspirations in these activities—whether you’re actively engaged or have yet to start.

By contributing your personal experiences to this research, you can help improve future programs, make efforts more effective across diverse communities and environments, and support your own success.

What does participation involve?

  • We hope participants will complete an online survey to collect ‘baseline’ information.
  • After completing the survey, participants will also be asked if they would like to take part in an interview, allowing us to gain even deeper insights.
  • Access the survey at – bit.ly/successlandscapes
    Please enter this address in your desktop browser, as the survey is not suited for mobile devices.

Prizes

To encourage participation, a total of eight prizes will be awarded. All winners (drawn randomly) will receive free conference registration and a $1,000 gift voucher to support travel and accommodation.
