Summary This manual translates the key landcare messages into the principal languages of the landcare movement. It offers a set of tools to help all the players in landcare - farmers, graziers, scientists, economists, educators, administrators and politicians - understand each other when they talk about landcare. The languages range from fund-raising to economic planning, from solving 'on-the-ground' problems to developing a national land policy. The messages are those which landcare people themselves have said are the most important - and which have provded the most difficult to get across. Those messages are careful stewardship of the land, cooperative partnerships between those who care for the land, and managing the land for Australia's long-term future
