What is Landcare?

Landcare is a national community volunteer program that aims to deliver improved land, water and environmental outcomes. Landcare was launched in 1986. There are now more than 60 Landcare groups across the Wimmera and 4000 groups nation wide.

What does Landcare do?

Landcare works with community groups to promote and deliver activities designed to help farmers and land managers. This includes pest, plant and animal management on private and public land and re-vegetation projects to improve land management practice. Landcare contributes to the region's ongoing commitment to sustainable landscape change and improvement.
