NORTH Coast Landcare groups in Ballina, Byron, and Tweed are gearing up for a range of community activities as part of National Landcare Week 2024.<\/p>\n

The annual event, from August 5 to 11, celebrates and acknowledges Australians who work to restore, enhance, and protect the natural environment in their community.<\/p>\n

This year’s ‘Landcare is for Everyone’ theme encourages people to participate in local land care or other community environmental groups. It also celebrates a range of achievements – from farmers planting wildlife corridors to students learning about biodiversity. It also highlights community groups creating native seedbanks and businesses encouraging staff to volunteer.<\/p>\n

The motto Landcare is for Everyone (L.I.F.E) leads volunteers and groups to work all year to care for the environment in their community, including coast, bush, dune, and river care.<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old national Landcare movement has over 6,000 groups, each providing opportunities for 140,000+ volunteers nationally. The collective encompasses land care and other groups, farmers, landholders, Traditional Owners and First Nations organisations, youth groups, researchers, academics, and government agencies.<\/p>\n

Landcare Australia provides a communications kit on their website for people wanting to become involved or start a group. The kit contains social media content, fact sheets, newsletter articles, templates for stakeholder and advocacy letters and posters for promoting the group’s activities.<\/p>\n

A flourishing Landcare structure is becoming critical with a changing climate leading to increased natural disasters, including drought, bushfires and floods. Any community-led group working on environmental projects can still get involved and promote their work during Landcare Week 2024.<\/p>\n
