The Group supports the principle that an important part of landcare is to maintain existing remnant native vegetation and to promote vegetation links that lead to viable size ecological areas. Landcare includes strongly supporting enforcement of Council's Tree Preservation Ordinance and the principles of the NSW Native Vegetation Conservation Act as well as other measures to conserve and restore to health landscapes, soil and water. The Geary's Gap/Wamboin Landcare Group has published a booklet entitled "Look after your natural assets: landcare for the bush block and small farm acreage". The booklet was published with the assistance of the Natural Heritage Trust and has been distributed to all households in the district. Additional copies are available from the Yarrowlumla Shire Council, Queanbeyan, at Bungendore Post Office and at Landcare meetings.
