2.1.4- Land managers' understandings of specific outdoor environments
Land managers are responsible for managing the use and development of our land resources. The most prominent manager of the public outdoor environment in Victoria is the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP). They are responsible for the management of an area that covers over 4 million hectares, including National and State parks, reserves, alpine resorts and water catchments. While this is a huge area, more than 60% of Victoria is privately owned. Landowners, including farmers, have many obligations in terms of managing their land.

This takes many forms, including protecting water resources, controlling pests, eradicating weeds and conserving the soil. Land managers have to have an intimate knowledge and understanding of the the land they are responsible for as their decisions can have a dramatic impact on the environment.
