	"Our Patch / Catchment Care is a program which enables individuals, community groups, businesses and schools to adopt and care for a local patch of the environment - most often a creek or river. The program was originally established by Catchment Water Management Boards. These Boards have now merged to form the Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges NRM Board and as a result the individual Our Patch and Catchment Care programs operating across the Adelaide area have now also merged. The names of the program may vary from area to area, in some places the community refer to it as the "Our Patch" program, while in other areas it is called a "Catchment Care" program. However, while the names may different, the principles and services delivered by the program are the same. With support from an Our Patch / Catchment Care Project Officer each group works to improve the environmental health of their patch (eg: water quality, biodiversity, natural habitats) by implementing environmental best practice in consultation with all other organisations and individuals with an interest in their site. Some groups also use their sites to educate the community about the environment and local environmental issues. Through the Catchment Care / Our Patch program, eligible groups or individuals can access funding grants and professional advice, participate in workshops and field trips, and be a part of an established network of like-minded community members. And best of all you will be doing something worthwhile for the environment." Source:AMLRNRMB
