Community Care Group Membership
A group of people who are dedicated to Landcare activities*
Under the Landcare Tasmania constitution, any group of people can form a community care group provided:
- At least two people agree to form the group, or register an existing group
- The group has a specific purpose related to caring for our land, sky or waters
- All funds raised go towards fulfilling this purpose, and if the group closes the remaining funds will be donated (no profit gained)
A group may be:
- Place-based: a catchment, local area, reserve, property, urban area etc.
- Issue-based: A network or group that raises awareness and takes action on Landcare issues.
- Or both!
Note that:
- Community care groups manage their own activities, members, volunteers and safety
- Are also referred to as 'care groups' or 'member groups'
- Receive full membership and services, including voting rights
- Care group memberships have an annual renewal date: 31 January each year
