Groups

The groups that fall under the Landcare umbrella are varied in nature and don’t necessarily include Landcare in their names, including Productive farming groups, ‘Friends of’, Bushcare, Coastcare, Rivercare, and Dunecare. Landcare also include farmers embracing sustainable farm management, Indigenous traditional land managers sharing their knowledge with the wider community and any community group that partakes in volunteer environmental activities.

Landcare group survey

In July and August 2011, Landcare Australia conducted a nationwide survey of volunteer environmental groups across the country in order to capture their changing needs and challenges. The ‘Landcare Landscape’ survey revealed a passionate and dedicated movement of people who are concerned for the future of Australia’s natural resources and need ongoing support to enable them to continue with their valuable work. Landcare Australia is currently working with the Landcare community to address the issues raised within the survey and will continue to address the survey results in any ongoing strategies that are developed.
