The Landcare community provides so much benefit to Tasmania as a whole by improving catchment health, landscape connectivity and better conditions for primary production.

Successful applicants will also provide a considerable amount of inkind contribution as part of their project commitments making this grant an important catalyst for community action.

The project assessment process involved a technical assessment committee with stakeholders from NRM South, Landcare Tasmania’s Members Council, Natural Resources Environment Tasmania, Tasmanian Land Conservancy, melythina tiakana warrana Aboriginal Corporation and the Tasmanian Farmers and Graziers Association.
