Experience Landcare This Landcare Week 2026

1-7 August 2026

Landcare Week is an annual celebration held during the first week of August, recognising the Australians who are actively restoring, enhancing and protecting the natural environment in their local communities.

From students learning about biodiversity to volunteers caring for beaches and bushland, farmers adopting sustainable land management practices, Indigenous Elders sharing cultural knowledge, scientists advancing environmental innovation, and businesses supporting employee volunteering initiatives, Australians across the country are taking meaningful action to care for the environment every day.

This year’s theme, “Experience Landcare,” encourages people to connect with their local landcare group and discover the many ways they can contribute to healthier landscapes and waterways where they live.

Celebrating Everyday Environmental Champions

Landcare Week shines a spotlight on the individuals, groups and organisations committed to caring for Australia’s natural environment. This includes people involved in:

• Conservation and land management
• Sustainable agriculture
• Cultural land
• management practices
• Environmental education and stewardship
• Community volunteering
• The next generation of landcare leaders

The week recognises the thousands of volunteers, farmers and community members who dedicate their time throughout the year to protecting and enhancing local environments.

More Than Environmental Benefits

Landcare delivers benefits that extend beyond environmental outcomes. Participating in landcare activities helps strengthen communities, supports wellbeing, encourages learning and fosters a deeper connection to the places where we live, work and play.

Whether it’s planting native vegetation, restoring waterways, protecting biodiversity, or learning about sustainable land management, getting involved in landcare is a practical way to make a positive impact while connecting with others who share a passion for caring for the environment.
