Bupa Healthy Cities Landcare Grants Program
Congratulations to the 33 groups and organisations awarded funding through the 2024 Bupa Landcare Grants Program! This initiative celebrates Bupa’s ‘Healthy Cities Challenge’ by supporting community-led projects to plant a total of 82,500 native trees, shrubs and groundcovers in urban and peri-urban areas across Australia.
The funded projects will focus on planting locally endemic trees and shrubs, enhancing native vegetation connectivity, and creating new green spaces in urban areas. These efforts also contribute to community wellbeing by providing healthier, greener spaces for people to enjoy.
