Do you want to do on-ground works to protect, enhance or maintain areas of high conservation value land you are managing? This includes activities on agricultural land, conservation covenants, and reserves on both private and public land.

This round, 'Landcare Action Grants 2026: Protecting, Enhancing, and Maintaining Tasmania's Natural Values' will provide $240,000 for our members' on-ground projects that protect, enhance, and maintain high conservation value areas, while also aligning with at least one of the overall State Government Landcare Action Grant Objectives:

• Improve landscape and riverine health, stability and resilience;
• Support enhanced land management practices to reduce erosion and sedimentation;
• Assist the community to holistically manage natural and productive land and waterways across the landscape.

It was a bright and breezy day at Logie Farm, Orielton, as community members, partners, and supporters gathered to celebrate the launch of Landcare Tasmania’s Catchment Connect Project.

We’re thrilled to announce Landcare Tasmania has secured $4 million through the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund to deliver a five-year statewide Catchment Connect – Enhancing Farm Dams for Climate Resilience Project.
