Landcare for our Future is designed to introduce young people to Landcare and:

🍃Give you new skills in tackling invasive plants, managing erosion and track maintenance, ecosystem monitoring and planting. You can use these skills for landcare in the future, or just caring for your own backyard!

🍃Connect you with other like-minded young people and build a strong network of young people who care about the environment in Canberra.

🍃Connect you with local landcare and parkcare groups in Canberra, and allow for knowledge sharing together.

🍃Make a difference repairing some of our native ecosystems both rurally and right in our Canberra parks and reserves.

🍃Be FUN! We won’t just be working hard, we will be snacking, chatting and having some fun social times as well.

 

Bring your friends, your colleagues, your siblings- don’t forget to sign up! Places at each event are limited due to COVID safety protocols, so first come first served.
