State of Community Care Landcare Groups in Tasmania

Every year, Community Care Groups share valuable information through Landcare Tasmania's membership renewal process. This year, we've brought those insights together in a new report that paints a picture of what's happening across Tasmania's Community Care Group network - from the issues groups care about and the work they undertake, to the challenges and opportunities they face.
This year, 261 Community Care Groups renewed their membership with Landcare Tasmania, alongside 175 individual members and 47 associate members, including schools, councils, businesses and community organisations. The network also welcomed 24 new groups in 2025 and a further seven groups already this year, reflecting the continued strength and growth of community-led Landcare across Tasmania.
While the renewal process has long provided insights into what groups do and the issues they care about, this year we dug a little deeper. New questions explored why volunteers get involved, how groups are tracking, what challenges they face, how supported they feel, and where they would like additional support. The result is one of the most detailed snapshots we've ever had of Tasmania's Community Care Group network.

A group of dedicated volunteers (The Friends of Huon Island) attempt to regenerate Huon Island, a small island off Tasmania's south east coast that was stripped of trees in the 1800s to make way for a potato farm.
The Circular Head Landcare group and community come together to rally against ricegrass in the Duck River Estuary, far NW Tasmania.
The coastal hills behind the beaches of Northeast Tasmania are quietly receiving a major ecological makeover. Over the last 10 years, a community-led initiative has been restoring hundreds of hectares of native vegetation. The work is reclaiming valuable habitat for threatened species and reconnecting important natural habitats from the coast all the way into the forested interior. And, it is building skills and providing employment for the coastal communities.
