The Landcare approach is described by many as:
1. Community based (for decisions and actions) as local groups
2. Improving natural resource management for production and conservation
3. Open to partnerships for information, funding and other opportunities
4. Individual groups autonomous in their management (no hierarchy).

Andrea became a Landcarer in 1994 when the local community formed the Upper Williamson's Creek Landcare Group and she took on the role of Secretary. Since then she has also  held the position of Chairperson and Committee member. In 1997, she was a founding member of the Leigh Catchment Group (LCG), worked as the facilitator for 12 years and is now the Chairperson.

With such a wealth of experience and a keen interest in promoting Landcare to the world she joined the Australian Landcare International Board and has been involved in Landcare training overseas.
