» Molonglo Catchment Group
» Ginninderra Catchment Group
» Southern ACT Catchment Group.

The three groups are umbrella organisations that support community involvement in catchment management and on-ground actions to improve the environment of these catchments. They coordinate activities and provide support through their catchment strategies to environmental and heritage groups and schools. ACT urban and rural Landcare, Waterwatch, Parkcare and Frogwatch programs are delivered through the catchment groups.
