The quality of submissions was outstanding, reflecting the passion and commitment of our community to improving the environment, building resilience and strengthening local connections.

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!
