CRDC 2013-2018 Strategic R&D Plan under its Responsible Landscape Management theme, outlines the industries desire to lead in managing natural resources and be recognized for its leadership in environmental performance. This project built on the past decade of investment in NRM research by providing a National NRM technical specialist who helped the industry meet this strategic goal through:

• developing and implementing annual national NRM campaigns,

• continuously improving the industries best practice recommendations for

NRM, and

• facilitating the capture of past and current NRM research into project

activities, outputs and outcomes.

A key measure of success under this goal as outlined within the Strategic plan is 1000km of riparian land and one million hectares of floodplain vegetation managed under best practice.
