\"terrainTerrain NRM is a leading environmental stewardship\u00a0 organisation dedicated to creating a thriving sustainable Wet Tropics region in Far North Queensland. As one of Australia’s trusted regional natural resource management organisations<\/a><\/strong>, we empower local communities to actively shape a sustainable future.<\/p>\n

DEEP LOCAL ROOTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are a community-driven, independent not-for-profit organisation with a team of 40 experts stationed across 4 regional offices in Cairns, Innisfail, Atherton and Tully.<\/p>\n

Our specialists bring a wealth of knowledge in sustainable agriculture, soil, water, biodiversity, planning, co-design, community engagement and Indigenous partnerships. With deep roots in our communities, we’re trusted partners to the people and organisations who shape the Wet Tropics.<\/p>\n

OVER 20 YEARS OF IMPACT\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since 2003 we have been working with hundreds of organisations and thousands of farmers and land managers to develop and implement a range of projects that range in scale from $30,000 to $30,000,000.<\/p>\n

Our hands-on approach means we make an impact where it counts. Our projects are designed to make a tangible difference to the environment and deliver multiple social and economic co-benefits.<\/p>\n

Together with local communities, Traditional Owners, industry partners, and government agencies, we co-design solutions that are tailored to our region\u2019s needs and have lasting impact.<\/p>\n

Join us in shaping a sustainable future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Managing the environment is actually about managing people – and that’s what makes NRM organisations different. Understanding that people need to be at the centre of long-term solutions to our environmental challenges.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n[\/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider visibility=”visible-tl”][mk_padding_divider visibility=”visible-tl”][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1563798002269{padding-right: 35px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}” el_class=”great_2_left”][mk_padding_divider size=”55″ visibility=”hidden-sm”][mk_fancy_title size=”28″ letter_spacing=”4″ margin_bottom=”0″ font_family=”none” el_class=”terrain-title-2″]OUR SUCCESSES[\/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text el_class=”sub-head” css=”.vc_custom_1575947304946{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]TRACK RECORD[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1597299932551{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]We have identified pressing environmental issues, co-designed solutions, secured funding and successfully delivered many large environmental programs and projects across the region.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”sub-head” css=”.vc_custom_1575940708920{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]INNOVATION[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1580435598344{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Terrain NRM is an award-winning innovator and thought-leader.
