Celebrating Coastcare Week 2021:

Protect our coasts and marine environments with the Summer Up with Coastcare campaign

Coastcare Week (December 6 – 12) is an opportunity for local groups and volunteers to celebrate and promote the work they are doing throughout the year to care for our coasts and marine environments, and encourage more people to get involved.

The Summer Up with Coastcare campaign aims to raise public awareness over summer of the effects of litter on our waterways, encouraging all Australians to get connected to their local environment with Coastcare, and support groups to continue their invaluable work.

Coastcare Week acknowledges the hard work of Coastcare, Landcare, Bushcare, Dunecare, Rivercare and other environmental community led groups who are restoring, enhancing and protecting their local natural environment across Australia.

For the Summer Up with Coastcare campaign, Landcare Australia has developed a promotional tool kit to help groups create awareness of their group activity.

Coastcare Resources

Starting your own Coastcare Group

If you want to make a hands-on difference to your community but can’t find a Coastcare group to join in your area, or one that suits your passion for a particular type of project, you can start a group of your own and encourage your local community to get involved and volunteer.

Promoting your Coastcare Group’s Activities

Looking professional and sending a clear message is very important when you organise your event or promotion, especially when you would like volunteers or local business to get involved. Landcare Australia has developed free group resources to help you with this including; editable templates where you can change the titles, field names and insert your own logo (where the space is provided).

Occasionally there are templates developed specifically for promoting national campaigns like Coastcare Week, but for a local event, you are welcome to use the templates and resources we’ve listed below, we will continue to add more.

Using the Coastcare Logo

There are rules that govern the use of the Coastcare logo to ensure that the brand is protected for the benefit of all. Landcare Australia owns and manages the trademark and the use of the Landcare Australia, Landcare, Coastcare and Junior Landcare brands. Landcare Australia’s brands and logos are easily recognised and have a high reputation to uphold. As such, Landcare Australia restricts the use of the logo.

As a Coastcare group you can request your own Coastcare group logo incorporating your group name. To obtain please register your group on the National Landcare Directory. If you get approval from Landcare Australia to use the Coastcare logo, make sure you follow the logo style guide.

For all enqueries regarding the use of the Coastcare logo, please Contact Us.
