Landcare
Landcare is a unique Australian partnership between the community, government, and business. We work together to manage, protect, and repair our environment.
More than 5,500 community volunteer Landcare groups around Australia are tackling land degradation and other important environmental issues such as loss of biodiversity, coastal degradation, and the impacts of climate change.
