what we do

The LANDCARE QUEENSLAND vision
Our vision is for a healthy and productive landscape where tourists and residents enjoy our rainforests, reefs and beaches; farmers enjoy productive, sustainable landscapes and vibrant rural towns; and our children can swim and fish in local creeks.

Our mission
To ensure vibrant towns and cities of the future, with clean air; healthy soils and landscapes; and clean and abundant water, we need to learn to live and work differently.  To really look after the environment, people need information, support and financial assistance to make the right choices.
 
Landcare Queensland provides training, resources and funding for more than 60,000 people involved in landcare throughout the state.

What do landcare groups do?
Landcare Groups are autonomous groups of people who get together to manage their local environment, using local solutions.  In Queensland there are more than 300 Landcare Groups.  These groups are working on projects such as:

• facilitating neighbouring farmers to complete property plans;
• bringing together Indigenous people to talk about caring for country and capturing traditional knowledge;
• restocking creeks and rivers with native fish;
• protecting and rebuilding habitat for endangered species such as the earless dragon; Mary River turtle; and bridled nail tail wallaby.
