This issue of Thinking Bush provides you with a sample of the many issues being addressed by organisations such as the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, the Bureau of Rural Sciences, CSIRO and Greening Australia. Together, these organisations form part of the 'Partners in Vegetation Management' group, a bunch of national organisations which are collaborating to improve the delivery of information to NRM practitioners. As in the past, there is also news from projects supported by Land & Water Australia. In this issue we cover three projects that are building upon the knowledge base developed from earlier projects, and we also provide you with some exciting research outcomes that will influence how we manage native vegetation at the landscape scale
