Clarence Valley Conservation in Action (CVCIA Landcare) Incorporated was a registered not for profit group established with the purpose of enhancing the natural environment by controlling the spread of pest species in the Clarence Valley LGA and other parts of New South Wales.
CVCIA Landcare (fondly known as the CIA) was chiefly involved in Cane Toad control and running the Indian (Common) Myna control program in the Clarence Valley.
The group was founded in November 2008 by Sharon Lehman as a way to network people wanting to actually help with and/or be involved in local conservation projects to actively help out our native wildlife. It is non-political with a focus to on-ground actions.
In 2009, the CIA became a Landcare group with the assistance of the Clarence Landcare.
