Landcare Youth

Exciting New Resources for Education and Youth in the North West Region

We are thrilled to announce that Tamworth Regional Landcare is embarking on an exciting new initiative to establish resources aimed at education and youth engagement in North West NSW. Our goal is to inspire and empower the younger generation to take an active role in landcare and environmental stewardship.

Opportunities for Youth Involvement

  1. New Intrepid Landcare Group: We are launching a new Intrepid Landcare group designed specifically for youth (aged 16-25). This group will provide a dynamic platform for young people to engage in hands-on landcare activities, develop leadership skills, and connect with like-minded peers.
  2. School Initiatives: We are collaborating with schools in the region to integrate landcare principles into the curriculum. These initiatives will offer students practical experiences and knowledge about environmental conservation, sustainability, and community involvement.

Get Involved

We invite all interested youth, educators, and community members to join us in this exciting venture. Whether you are eager to participate in the new Intrepid Landcare group or wish to support our school initiatives, we welcome your enthusiasm and involvement.

Express Your Interest

To establish your interest or to get involved, please email us at youth@trla.org.au.

Together, we can make a positive impact on our environment and inspire the next generation of landcare champions!

Just A farmer Screening

Join the Upper Peel Landcare Group for a heartfelt afternoon at Nundle Memorial Hall, featuring a screening of the powerful Australian film Just a Farmer. This moving story explores resilience, grief, and the often-unspoken realities of life on the land, shining a light on the mental health challenges faced by farming families and the importance of reaching out and supporting one another.

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.
