“It’s incredible to see the changes that are possible when a group of passionate Landcarers and volunteers work to heal the land and our beautiful waterways,” said Deb Kellock, ACT Australian Government Individual Landcarer Award Finalist.

Deb Kellock has worked across the Landcare and Waterwatch space for 20 years and has always gone the extra mile for the land and rivers she cares deeply about.

In 2001 she became a volunteer with Parkcarers of Southern Murrumbidgee, putting in around 1,000 hours of her time, cutting and spraying weeds, controlling erosion and planting native species.

While volunteering, Deb discovered the Waterwatch program, which led her to become the Waterwatch Coordinator with Molonglo Catchment Group for over six years.

Deb has extensive knowledge of the ACT region’s environment and wishes to share her knowledge with others.
