 Member Support Program

We support our members with the resources and guidance needed to coordinate their volunteers and carry out their on-ground projects.

This is our core. Community Landcare depends on a foundation of well-resourced members. Our members are landholders, farmers, schools, and community groups full of Tasmanians from all walks of life who care about the health of their local landscapes, and are largely self-directed (with guidance). Local people have a sense of ownership and long-term connection to place. This is why the grassroots, "bottom-up" approach of the community-led Landcare movement is so enduring -- and worth investing in. 

Our extensive Member Support Program provides:

  • Promotion & recognition
  • Funding opportunities
  • Volunteer recruitment
  • Information & connection
  • 1-to-1 phone & email support
  • Discounted materials & equipment
  • Equipment lending library
  • Leadership opportunities
  • Voting rights
  • Administrative support to reduce the burden of running a volunteer group: free insurance, a small annual cash grant, an email address and online storage, a logo, info guides on safety & governance, many ways to promote group activities, and other administrative support
