RAIN is a farmer driven group focused on best practice farming systems and the sustainable use of natural resources in the Ravensthorpe area on the South Coast of Western Australia.

RAIN was established in 2001 by the Ravensthorpe Land Conservation District Committee members who saw the need for a wider focus and a central network to coordinate landcare and production projects across the region.

RAIN is governed by a committee comprising representatives of the various geographic areas of the shire and is well supported by the community.

In September 2009, RAIN undertook a review of the group’s direction and updated its strategic plan to set the group’s direction in a changing environment.
