Celebrating three years of the Country Road, Landcare and cotton industry partnership

Published

The partnership between iconic Australian brands Country Road and Landcare Australia and the cotton industry's CRDC and Cotton Australia to improve biodiversity on cotton farms in the Namoi Valley of NSW has today reached its third anniversary.

Together with Cotton Australia and CRDC, the partners are working to restore native habitats and increase biodiversity.

Under the project, six farming families in northern NSW have planted 11,800 seedlings along 11.6km of riverbank over the past three years, rehabilitating a total of 59.6 hectares of native vegetation. Country Road committed $600,000 in the first three years of the project and has since raised $790,000 through sales of its iconic Heritage Sweat and brand contributions.
