Caring for Australia's Natural Environment for Over 35 Years
Landcare Australia is an independent, national not-for-profit organisation established in 1989. For over 35 years, Landcare Australia has worked at the forefront of community and corporate engagement in environmental conservation and sustainable land management with activities that protect and conserve Australia’s land, water, soils, plants, animals and ecosystems.
Our work supports individuals, groups and organisations involved in landcare with funding, delivery of on-ground projects, capacity-building, information sharing, networking, communications and promotion of landcare achievements. We also manage large scale restoration projects including the Landcare CarbonSMART program.
Our Impact
Together with the landcare community and our partners, our efforts improve biodiversity, restore landscapes, build resilience in Australia’s food and farming systems, and create stronger communities. With the impact of a changing climate, biodiversity loss and natural disasters, our work has never been more important.
Our Partnerships
Landcare Australia is focused on supporting over 5,500 groups in the landcare community to continue their important work with partnerships, innovative programs and technology, fostering the next generation of landcare leaders including school children, and strengthening engagement with First Nations people.
