Get involved with Landcare

Landcare groups help build networks of knowledge and expertise to help improve our environment and the sustainability of our farming practices.

Landcare groups across the Mallee CMA region undertake a range of works such as weed removal, planting trees, and rabbit control. Landcare groups also host a range of workshops and community events.

By getting in touch with your local Landcare group, you can be involved in:

  • Planting trees and native vegetation;
  • Direct seeding;
  • Pest plant and animal control;
  • Joining a committee;
  • Bookkeeping;
  • Writing newsletters or creating social media content; and
  • Many other activities that make a positive different to your local area.
