Knowing when to step in and when to step back as a coordinator in navigating the natural cycle of Landcare Groups
Landcare groups, like any community-driven initiative, experience phases of growth, consolidation, and reflection. As a result we can see Landcare groups become quite disheartened when they reach low points in the adaptive cycle. Making it harder to boost morale and progress forward into a new chapter of growth.
Understanding when to actively support a group’s development and when to allow organic momentum to take its course can be a tricky question for Landcare Coordinators. Knowing when to step in and guide a group though the highs of growth or step back and allow a group to cycle through the lows of reflection and rebirth.
