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 caring for the environment in their local communities for
the benefit of all Australians today, and for generations to come.
In each state and territory, the Landcare Awards will be granted to recognise the achievements that encompass climate action, environmental
leadership, sustainable agriculture, First Nations Peoples, women in landcare, youth, Coastcare and children.
Come and be part of the INTREPID LANDCARE fun!
An exciting and innovative opportunity has emerged for environmentally conscious young people in our community. The Tamworth Regional
Landcare Association (TRLA) has launched an Intrepid Landcare Group, designed specifically for individuals from their
mid-teens through to their mid-30s.
This initiative invites schools, students, and passionate individuals to get involved in hands-on environmental activities, connect with
like-minded peers, and make a real difference locally.
On Wednesday, 18 March, students (together with their parents/guardians) at Kurrawong Park in Tamworth enjoyed an engaging and hands-on bee
hotel workshop with Clancy Lester, the “Bee Man.”
Clancy was an incredible presenter, and students were captivated by his knowledge and enthusiasm. They thoroughly enjoyed his presentation
while learning how to build a variety of bee hotels using different materials and designs to support native bee populations.
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.
Did you know (TRLA) run an Annual Small Grants program for Landcare activities connected to the Tamworth region.
Volunteer Landcare and Grassroots Community groups can apply up to $2,500 for activities that meet an objective of TRLA’s strategic plan with eight successful projects being awarded funds from across the region.
