Landcare Australia
History and Background

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, 2000 Coastcare 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 Australian towns and cities inestimable time and effort each year working to tackle local environmental issues of most concern to their communities.
