The Landcare ACT Awards were held on Sunday 17 November 2019 at the historic “Lambrigg” property beside the Murrumbidgee River. Community landcarers from across the Territory came together to celebrate their impressive achievements.
The awards celebrated the efforts of individuals and groups, young and old, to protect the ACT’s natural resources, stewarding a more resilient landscape for the future. The award winners and their projects are diverse, from farming and indigenous land management, to educational and mapping tools.
