Highlights from the 2024 annual general meeting

28 November 2024 | Last week, members and supporters of Landcare Tasmania attended our Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Hobart and online, with 58 attendees from across the state.

The Landcare Tasmania AGM was an important opportunity for members to become informed of key activities for the last financial year, ask questions, and to have their say in electing the people who will have carriage of the organisation over the coming year.

All motions were passed, including amendments to the constitution. Read more here.

Landcare Tasmania members and their volunteers are the absolute foundation of the entire grassroots community Landcare movement.
We’d like to recognise and thank every single one of you who took action to care for the land, water, flora, and fauna of lutruwita/Tasmania this year.
No matter how big or small the contribution, you’ve made a difference!

Please read about our year in the 2023-24 Landcare Tasmania Annual Report.
