Campaign Toolkit for Landcare and Other Environmental Community Groups

Landcare Week, an annual celebration of landcare during the first week of August (5-11 August 2024), acknowledges the Australians who are actively restoring, enhancing and protecting the natural environment in their community.

We know that landcare volunteers and groups work all year to restore, enhance, and protect the environment in their community. Landcare Week is an opportunity to promote your group and your projects to inspire people to get involved and volunteer. It can also help your group to seek financial and in-kind support from local organisations.

Don’t have the word ‘landcare’ in your group name? No problem! Landcare is for Everyone.

You could be a bushcare, Coastcare, dunecare, rivercare, ‘friends of’ group, Junior Landcare group. Any community-led group working on environmental projects is part of landcare and can get involved in Landcare Week 2024 to promote their great work.

As we celebrate 35 years of landcare as a national movement, landcare has achieved a great deal of work, yet there is still more to do. With a changing climate leading to an increase in natural disasters, including drought, bushfires and floods, landcare has never been more important. United we can take action to benefit our environment, landscape, biodiversity, communities and personal wellbeing.

This year, the campaign will focus on the theme ‘Landcare Is for Everyone’ encouraging people to get involved in their local landcare or other community environmental group.

We encourage you to help spread the word and showcase the wonderful work being undertaken across Australia.

Happy Landcare Week!
