LANDCARE Australia is calling on communities to highlight grassroots people and groups making a difference to the health of the land, water and environment.<\/p>\n
Nominations for the 2026 State and Territory Landcare Awards close on Friday 31 July.<\/p>\n
Anyone can make a nomination for themselves, someone they know, or a group doing great things on the land.<\/p>\n
Nominees can include farmers improving soil, volunteers restoring reserves, teachers working to instill a love of the environment in students, Traditional Owners caring for Country, or young people creating change.<\/p>\n
Landcare Australia CEO Dr Shane Norrish said there are many people boosting green spaces and most never ask for recognition.<\/p>\n
“Every community has people who turn up, get their hands dirty and keep going because they care deeply about the environment around them,” he said.<\/p>\n
“All it takes is one nomination for someone to be recognised for their efforts.<\/p>\n
“This isn’t just about saying thank you, a Landcare Award can help elevate people’s voices, strengthen their mission and open doors to new opportunities.<\/p>\n
“Nominating is quick, free and incredibly impactful.”<\/p>\n
A nomination is a way to let landcarers know their efforts towards helping create a more resilient landscape matter and are appreciated.<\/p>\n
Winners will progress to the 2027 National Landcare Awards.<\/p>\n
