SUPPORTING LANDCARE VOLUNTEERS ACROSS AUSTRALIA

Congratulations to the recipients of the 2023 Victorian Landcare Grants in the Corangamite CMA region.

Environmental volunteer groups and networks are sharing in $3.98 million in funding for projects to protect Victoria’s natural environment.   The grants will fund 245 on-ground and educational projects focused on biodiversity protection and provide additional financial support to more than 269 environmental volunteer groups.

These grants will support Landcare and environmental volunteering groups and networks for on-ground works, education and capacity building projects that protect and restore our land and natural environment.

The delivery of the 2023 Victorian Landcare Grants will build on the success of Victorian Landcare Grants delivered by community in 2022, including native plantings, weed control, pest control and installation of fencing to protect wildlife habitat.  In 2022, Victorian Landcare Grants also supported 414 community events, such as community tree plantings and training workshops, that were attended by more than 6,000 volunteers.

The Victorian Landcare Grants support Biodiversity 2037, the Victorian Government’s long-term plan to protect Victoria’s environment.
