The Landcare Discovery Centre in our Toowoomba Office houses a resource library and a range of products for sale.

Library Resources

The resource library is open to schools and the wider public and contains a variety of kits, models, books, videos/DVDs and posters. Our offices located in Goondiwindi and Roma also house a smaller selection of resources. Library resources are free to borrow. Library resources can be searched online.

If you are not able to make it into one of our offices we can arrange to have the items sent to you. For more information on our resource collection please call Renee (4637 6270).
