About Landcare Australia and what you are helping to support buy purchasing products through our Green Online Shop.
Landcare is a national network of thousands of locally-based community groups who
care for our country. Australia is proud to boast more than 4000
community landcare groups and many thousands
of landcare volunteers in most towns across
the country.
Through Australia's people and communities, the Landcare movement is making a big difference in caring for our country.
All around Australia, Landcare volunteers are proving that together we can repair and viably manage our precious natural resources. This unique partnership between communities,
government and organisations is achieving great things.
Improving our farmlands
Many primary producers are active participants in landcare.
They make significant contributions to combating soil salinity and
erosion through sound land management practices and sustainable
productivity. More than 40 per cent of farmers are involved in landcare
and many more practice landcare farming.
Breathing new life into waterways
Rivercare groups work to conserve, rehabilitate and better manage our river systems.
Around the coast
Coastcare groups are active in improving local coastal and marine environments.
Bringing back trees
Each year landcarers plant many millions of native trees,
shrubs and grasses for a range of benefits, including better soils,
water and air quality. They restore bushland and conserve sensitive
areas in public and on private land.
Restoring wildlife habitats
Landcare volunteers have provided protection for thousands
of native species, including threatened and endangered flora and fauna.
Urban action - protecting our urban environment
Active landcare groups in Australia’s towns and cities
invest inestimable time and effort each year working to tackle local
environmental issues of most concern to their communities.
