Think globally, act locally with landcare and make a difference
Landcare has evolved from rural groups and farming communities, to people living in cities, in urban communities and along the coast. Thousands of people from all walks of life are coming together to find solutions to environmental issues in their community.
Whether you have time to volunteer each month with your local group, encourage your workplace to support landcare, educate children in the classroom, or take small actions at home, landcare is for everyone. We’ve put together a few ideas to help you get involved and be part of the landcare movement.
How to Get Involved in Landcare
Get involved with your local group and learn about local environmental issues in your community and how you can help. We know that people lead busy lives, however there are many ways to get involved in landcare that may work for you. We have created a list of ideas to help you be a "landcarer" at home, work or with your local environmental community group.
Events and Campaign Calendar
Get organised with Landcare Australia’s Campaign and Events calendar. This list will outline the dates for the various Landcare Awards programs, National Landcare Conferences and Landcare Campaigns. Plus! You can promote your group events on the National Landcare Events Calendar hosted on the Landcarer portal – by listing your activities, people can find your event to volunteer.
Find or Register a Group
The National Landcare Directory (NLD) is an online directory of ‘care' groups across Australia who are working in their local community on environmental conservation and sustainable land management activities. There are thousands of landcare groups and other environmental community groups across Australia, so this is a great starting point to find a group near you and get involved. We have made it easy for you to find a group, register a group or remove a group.
