Gillard Government Commits to another Five Years of Caring for our Country

The Gillard Government has announced it will continue its commitment to Labor’s flagship Caring for our Country program for another five years, providing $2.2 billion from 2013-14 to 2017-18.
“Through Caring for our Country, the Gillard Government is investing in a healthy, better protected and more resilient environment,” Environment Minister, Tony Burke said. “The great part of Caring for our Country is that it supports volunteers, farmers and community groups to make a real difference to their local area. Protecting and conserving our biodiversity and promoting the adoption of sustainable farm practices are priorities for the Gillard Government. This continued funding will support a broad range of groups to undertake high quality natural resource management projects that are important to local communities and which contribute to the health of our environment into the future."

Put Landcare on the map!

Landcare Group Map

We've set up an interactive map of landcare and landcare like groups in Queensland. We hope that Queenslanders can use it to find their nearest landcare group if they want to get involved and it's also a great way for you to see what other groups are up to in Queensland.

A big thank you to all the groups from Cooktown to Clifton who have put themselves on the map so far!

If your group has yet to put itself on the map, why not do it now? It's a very simple process and should take no more than 10-15 minutes of your time.

Simply follow the link below and then left click on ADD YOUR GROUP to follow the instructions to create a digital postcard about your group.

If you need any help, please contact Darryl on darryl@landcare.org.au or (07) 3844 0074.
