Landcare Australia is a national not-for-profit organisation that was established 35 years ago to support the landcare community with funding, capacity-building, on-ground projects, information, networking and promotion of landcare achievements.
Established in 1989 by the late former Prime Minister, the Hon. Bob Hawke, Landcare Australia has had a long-standing engagement with community-led environmental initiatives. We support over 6,000 groups and 140,000+ volunteers with landcare projects that are focused on sustainable land management practices and environmental conservation.
Together with the landcare community, our efforts improve biodiversity, build resilience in Australia’s food and farming systems, and create stronger communities. As a leader in the environmental sector, Landcare Australia has strong expertise in designing, managing and completing challenging and complex major ecological restoration projects involving large scale revegetation and carbon abatement.
Through this support Landcare Australia achieves a diverse range of positive environmental and community outcomes, these include:
– A sustainable approach to integrated land management
– Environmental protection, enhancement and conservation of land, water, waterways and coasts
– Natural habitat restoration to enhance biodiversity
– Building resilience in Australia’s food and farming systems
– Creating social cohesion and wellbeing in communities.
Landcare Australia works collaboratively with federal, state and local governments and their agencies, Traditional Owners and First Nations organisations, Landcare peak bodies, corporate and philanthropic partners, sponsors, universities and research agencies, farmers and primary producers, community groups and individuals to support the landcare community.
