Rural Lands Protection Boards

Rural Lands Protection Boards are local organizations responsible for managing and controlling pests, weeds, and fire risks on rural lands. They develop and enforce plans to protect agricultural productivity, natural habitats, and community safety. Funded by landholders and government support, these boards work collaboratively with farmers, landowners, and authorities to ensure sustainable land use and reduce threats like invasive species or wildfires. Their role is essential in maintaining healthy rural environments, supporting agriculture, and safeguarding communities.
