Landcare Action Grants - 2026 recipients
Landcare Tasmania has been a major delivery partner of the Landcare Action Grants with the Tasmanian Government since 2018. This year, funding has been delivered to 23 on-ground projects across the state, totalling more than $340,000.

From creek and wetland restoration to threatened species habitat rehabilitation, the grants support practical community-led action that aims to protect, enhance and restore areas of High Conservation Value across Tasmania.
Importantly, the funding is backed by field workshops, training and ongoing support to help community groups build the skills, confidence and coordination needed to deliver long-term outcomes on the ground.
This year’s round was again heavily oversubscribed, with 79 applications received from communities across Tasmania. Projects that were unsuccessful in this round will continue to be supported through other Landcare Tasmania programs and project development pathways being rolled out over the coming year.
“These grants are an important catalyst for local action, but they also help strengthen the community networks and knowledge needed to care for landscapes over time,” said Lily Fraser, Devolved Grant Manager at Landcare Tasmania.
“The combination of funding, practical support and skills development helps communities move beyond one-off projects and build long-term capacity for restoration and stewardship.”
