The 2026 State and Territory Landcare Awards stand as a prestigious biennial national Landcare Awards program. The Landcare Awards honour individuals, groups and organisations that are making outstanding contributions to sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation in their local communities for the benefit of all Australians today, and for generations to come.
Join us this Saturday, 4th July from 9:00am at the Tamworth Regional Landcare Nursery for a fantastic morning celebrating native plants and
sustainable living!

Community spirit was on full display as Intrepid Landcare and Co-Exist came together with Friends of Moore Creek Caves for a successful tree planting day at Moore Creek Caves Reserve.
“If your inputs are no longer giving you the return you hoped for, it may not be a product problem — it could be a soil problem. Understanding where your nutrients actually sit is the first step to getting more from every dollar you spend.”
Growing Together: Soil, Sustainability and Native Gardens This Landcare Season
This July and August, TRLA’s Landcare Learning program brings together two inspiring events that highlight the powerful connection between
healthy soil, sustainable gardening, and thriving native habitats. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to deepen your knowledge,
these sessions offer practical insights for anyone passionate about caring for their patch—and the wider landscape.
TRLA was delighted to be part of an incredible Agricultural Careers Expo, joining 37 trade and industry stands to connect with students and
showcase the diverse opportunities available within Landcare, environmental management, agriculture, and natural resource management.
This report summarises feedback from 23 participants who attended a soil health event led by Kevin Elmy (Canadian Soil Health Educator) and Mike McCosker (from Carbon8) on April 9-10 2026 conducted by Upper Mooki Landcare and Carbon8.

Our latest Landcare Learnings event on May 12, brought together community members for an inspiring and thought-provoking evening focused on permaculture and sustainable living. With a slightly different format to usual, the event attracted a diverse audience of around 25 attendees, including familiar Landcare faces and newcomers keen to learn more about living sustainably.
Our members often say that when you become part of Landcare, you’re not just joining a group, you’re becoming part of a family. The concept is so compatible with Australian culture it’s hard not to get involved! By becoming a TRLA member, you’ll be supporting our work, learning new skills, becoming part of the solution, and helping to make a difference for the future.
