State & Territory Landcare Awards and National Landcare Awards
Landcare Australia manages a Landcare Awards program to recognise the tireless efforts of landcare volunteers and their outstanding contributions to caring for the environment in their community. The State & Territory Landcare Awards program is run every two years, and the winners of the national award categories go forward as finalists to the National Landcare Awards, an event hosted every consecutive year.
The Landcare Awards recognise the individuals, groups and organisations involved in landcare including volunteers, landcare groups and other environmental community-led groups, farmers and landholders, First Nations peoples, and the next generation of Landcarers. The Landcare Awards program aims to raise awareness of the achievements of landcare to the broader community, encourage excellence within the landcare movement, and promote participation in landcare.
The 2023/2024 State and Territory Landcare Awards events have been hosted and the winners for the National Landcare Award categories will go forward as finalists to the 2025 National Landcare Awards, to be hosted on Tuesday 24 September at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre. The 2025 Bob Hawke Landcare Award and the 2025 General Jeffery Soil Health Award winners will also be announced at this event.
