passion never wears out
Our vision is to represent, strengthen, support and grow Tasmania’s community Landcare movement to improve the health of our natural and working landscapes.
Landcare Tasmania
The Association was founded in 1994 as the state peak membership body for community Landcare. We’re governed by passionate volunteer landcarers from around Tasmania who have dirt under their fingernails and generosity in their hearts.
Our staff team is small, committed and extremely hard working – and inspired by the effort from the community we work with, and for. We provide direct support to more than 200 care groups and landcaring landowners from across the state through a variety of programs. Partnerships are paramount and we thank various funding bodies and sponsors.
Importantly Landcare Tasmania also provides an independent, representative voice for community Landcare in the state - and nationally too as a member of the National Landcare Network.
