Landcaring with Future Generations... |
More about Junior Landcare |

Our Network is in the process of developing relationships with our local schools to help them facilitate their own environmental projects. At the moment the program is in its infancy and we are assisting schools to identify their projects. Eventually we hope to be able to help them obtain grants and commence the necessary works. Some of the suggested projects include vegetable gardens, removal of invasive species of trees, constructing greenhouses and propagating local indigenous tree species. It is envisaged that schools would be guided by experienced Landcare members through to the finalisation of their projects.
By working with schools our Landcare groups are hoping to increase awareness in our younger generation of the importance of protecting and restoring local ecosystems. We are hoping that this collaboration between schools and our Landcare groups will benefit both the environment and our local community.

Launched in May 1998, Junior Landcare recognises the vital role young Australians play in caring for the land, their environment and other natural resources. Junior Landcare connects young Australians with Landcare, one of the country’s largest volunteer movements. There are thousands of people and countless communities working together towards sustainable land use and undertaking on-ground action to protect, enhance or restore an area on behalf of the community.
