Watershed Landcare is a community Landcare group encompassing the towns and surrounding villages of Mudgee, Rylstone and Gulgong in the Central West of NSW. Our area covers approximately 700,000 ha (7000 km 2) stretching to Gulgong in the north, Burrendong Dam in the west, the Turon River in the south and the Wollemi National Park in the east.

The Watershed region straddles the Great Dividing Range with the south eastern corner (17%) draining east, via the Capertee River, into the Hawkesbury/Nepean River and the remainder (83%) draining west, via the Cudgegong River, into the Macquarie River.
