Landcare Week is an annual campaign celebrated during the first week of August that acknowledges the Australians who are actively restoring, enhancing and protecting the natural environment in their community.  

The Landcare Week campaign week is an opportunity to create awareness of landcare to the wider community, and for us all to promote the environmental, community and wellbeing benefits of getting your hands dirty to care for the land and waterways.    

The campaign will acknowledge individuals, groups and organisations across Australia involved in landcare activities. This includes people involved in conservation land management, sustainable agriculture, Cultural land management, women in landcare and the next-generation of landcare leaders. The campaign will also acknowledge the thousands of volunteers who take action to care for the environment in their local community throughout the year. 

Whether it is a school group learning about biodiversity and food production, a group of volunteers caring for their local beach or bushland, a farmer engaging in sustainable agriculture practices, the storytelling from an Indigenous elder, investing in science and research about the latest technologies and innovations, all Australians are taking small steps to care for the environment at work, home and in their community. 

We invite everyone to get involved in landcare for Landcare Week, take the Landcare Week survey or submit a photo of what landcare means to you. We have created useful Landcare Week branded resources for landcare groups and all other community-led groups focused on caring for the natural environment to us when promoting their support for landcare.
