Greenstyle Overview
Inspired by rural landcare, Greenstyle will pilot an innovative regional approach to breaking down private/public land management barriers. A strategic alliance between 3 councils has been formed in a regional area with over 304,000 people living in 569.4 s/kms. Greenstyle will build on the successes of Ku-ring-gai's, Willoughby’s and Hornsby's environmental programs.
