WULN offers two types of membership Groups or Associate Members (detailed below). If you are an individual then you can join a group. For more information go to our groups page.
These are groups who are members of the Wodonga Urban Landcare Network but do not have voting rights. Our associate members include Schools (who may or may not have a Junior Landcare program), service clubs and businesses.
Whether you’d like to become a member as an individual and get active with an existing group, or start something new, we can help.
We welcome membership enquiries seeking an umbrella under which to operate legally and safely on a variety of land tenures and in accordance with our vision and mission.
Contact us if you’d like to chat about individual or group membership.
We support groups with accessing relevant and affordable insurance including Public Liability, Personal Accident (volunteer) insurance and Associations Liability insurance.
We help your group develop a plan and support you to find resources, grow your volunteer members and start new projects which inspire the community.
We provide policy and procedures to support safe volunteering and we negotiate operational protocols with Wodonga Council when working on their land.
We support small groups with developing grant writing skills and other training opportunities, managing finances, administration, planning and project management and evaluation and reporting.
We support groups by providing access to shared equipment.
We help you promote, manage and record the success of your activities and events through our bulletin, website and social media platforms.
We provide or source technical advice for projects and can help you implement best practice.
We connect our groups through regular gatherings and events, allowing you to network and share information with like minded people.
Our volunteers choose to join a group (not the Network). Some groups accept their memberships directly and WULN manages others.
Each membership registration covers one household – either an individual or several members. Please list each name to be included when completing your membership form.
Membership is $20.00 (inc GST) per household annually (1 July – 30 June)
This form needs to be completed each year if you wish to continue your membership. Payment details are noted on the form. On processing of your registration and payment, your membership will be confirmed by email.
We welcome new groups whose purpose aligns with the vision, mission and Rules of the Wodonga Urban Landcare Network.
Your group might be patch based working in and around where you live or you might want to establish a group to deal with a specific environmental issue. New groups are expected to act in good faith in the best interests of the Wodonga Urban Landcare Network and with reasonable care and diligence for their own safety and that of others.
If you would like to discuss the development of a new group get in touch with the WULN Facilitator or submit the form below and we will be in touch.

We acknowledge and respect the Traditional Owners and First Nations people of the lands and waters of Wodonga and surrounds. We acknowledge the continued connection to land, water and community, their ability to care for Country and their deep spiritual connection to it.
We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging whose knowledge and wisdom has ensured the continuation of culture and traditional practices.
We are committed to genuine partnerships and engagement with Traditional Owners and First Nations people to support the protection of Country.
We are proud that Wodonga has retained its Aboriginal name and refers to Bulrushes found on the edge of waterways.
