Landcare brings environment, agriculture and community together to shape a more sustainable future
For over 35 years, Landcare Australia has worked to spearhead community and corporate engagement in environmental conservation and sustainable land management, with activities that restore and protect Australia’s land, water, soils, plants, animals and ecosystems.
Working with our incredible partners and the growing landcare movement, we support environmental conservation, sustainable agriculture, and First Nations-led projects across Australia.
Our work is transforming Australia’s natural environment and helping to build community capacity by bringing people together to protect landscapes and waterways for future generations. Landcare projects connect people where they live and work to care for nature so that we have a healthy planet, and healthy people.
Our work supports individuals, community groups and organisations involved in landcare with funding, support for landscape and habitat restoration, science-led resources and information sharing, building community capacity and resilience, and the promotion of landcare achievements and impact. We integrate First Nations perspectives across the work we do.
Our Impact
With over 6,000 groups and more than 100,000 volunteers, our efforts with the landcare movement improves biodiversity, restores landscapes, builds resilience in Australia’s food and farming systems, and creates stronger communities. With the impact of a changing climate, biodiversity loss and natural disasters, our ability to drive transformative change with landcare has never been more important.
Our Partnerships
Landcare Australia is focused on creating impactful partnerships with organisations who want to invest in the long-term benefits of landcare. From restoring and protecting the environment and productive landscapes, to supporting healthier communities and people, landcare mobilises people to protect the biodiversity, land, sea and waterways where they live and work.
