Meet the Next

Generation of

Landcare Leaders

Across Australia, a new wave of Landcare leaders is stepping forward

with fresh energy, ideas and determination to protect and restore

the environment. These young changemakers are not only caring for

landscapes but reshaping what Landcare can look like, combining

creativity, community and practical action in inspiring ways.

From coastal revegetation projects driven by music and art to hands-on

urban restoration efforts, this next generation is finding innovative ways to

engage people and spark lasting change. They are connecting communities,

building knowledge and showing that environmental stewardship can be

both impactful and accessible.

In this feature, we meet some of the passionate young people leading this

movement, each bringing their own perspective and drive, and together

helping to secure a stronger, more sustainable future for Landcare across

the country.

Many of the young people featured are involved in Landcare Australia's

NextGen Landcare Working Group. For more information about being

involved please contact enquiries@LandcareAustralia.com.au
