The Natural Resources Conservation League of Victoria (NRCL), formed in 1951 is celebrating 60 years of contribution to the conservation of Victoria’s natural resources. Its predecessor, the Save the Forests Campaign was formed in 1944 in the aftermath of the 1939 bushfires out of concern about the need to protect Victoria’s forests. Read more about our history.

In this the International Year of the Forest the NRCL Board has established new directions for the organisation that reflect its history of engagement in conservation issues. An important aspect of this work will involve partnerships with like minded organizations committed to integrated approaches to natural resource management.
