Recycle Rewards

Landcare Tasmania is thrilled to be a charity partner for the launch of the Recycle Rewards program in Tasmania. 

As Tasmania’s community Landcare peak body, we advocate for our members and volunteers who are looking after Lutruwita/Tasmania. Your donation enables our members to continue their essential work ensuring we have healthy landscapes and healthy communities.

How does it work? Simply visit a Refund Point, select Landcare Tasmania as your charity, and you can donate the refunds from your 10c drink containers.

Together, we are aiming to recycle 100,000 containers to help our land, water and wildlife of Lutruwita/Tasmania.

From now until 31 August 2025, every eligible bottle and can donated to Landcare Tasmania at a reverse vending machine or on the Recycle Rewards app at one of the refund points, will raise 10c toward the $10,000 goal to support our vital work.

Thanks to TOMRA Cleanaway, network operator of the scheme.

 

National Landcare Network

At the national level, we are a member of the National Landcare Network (NLN). The NLN is the representative body for Landcare groups across Australia and works to provide a voice for Landcare at the national level.

The NLN is made up of representatives from each State and Territory, who come together to share their successes and support one another in overcoming challenges. The NLN aims to tell the collective story and shared experiences of Landcarers across Australia, and advocate for the Landcare movement to enable it to continue its essential work building resilient and productive landscapes, and protecting our natural environment.

A key outcome of our involvement with the NLN is the 2022 'Australian Community Landcare Futures Framework' proposal ahead of the 2022 Federal Election. It is a visionary proposal that outlines the programs and investments needed for community Landcare to become a stronger, more sustainable, resilient and vibrant part of Australian society and environment. Download the Futures Framework here. Previous involvement included the 2016 Building a Resilient Australia.

Landcare Tasmania’s powerful model of community engagement and empowerment occupies a unique space in the environmental management spectrum, ensuring that local ownership of issues, design and delivery of solutions, and maintenance of outcomes deliver cost-effective and sustainable outcomes not accessible through the 'top down' approach.

Centre for Invasive Species Solutions

 

We've partnered with the Centre for Invasive Species Solutions to deliver community education and action on management of invasive species in Tasmania. The Centre is a national collaborative research, development and extension organisation tackling the ongoing threats invasive species pose to Australia’s environment, agricultural industries and communities.

Their success is underpinned by collaboration with scientists, governments, universities and peak industry, environmental and NRM groups. They support community action on invasive species through a network of national coordinators.
