Our teams work across projects to conserve native flora and fauna, manage pest plants and animals, and improve the health of the wetlands and floodplains along the River Murray. Our sustainable agriculture team works to drive on-farm productivity, while our engagement team collaborates with First Nations, young people, volunteers, and citizen scientists to build the skills and capacity of our greatest asset - our people.

Frontline staff are supported by a dynamic team of professionals working behind the scenes in roles ranging from finance and governance through to communications, planning, information management, monitoring and evaluation, investment support and more, working as one team to deliver for our region. The landscape board employs around 85 staff with offices located in Berri and Murray Bridge, with satellite sites in Lameroo, Cambrai, and Karoonda.
