Copyright 2026. The 2027 National Landcare Conference and 2027 National Landcare Awards are funded by the Australian Government through the Natural Heritage Trust. Landcare Australia administers both events on behalf of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) and the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW).
ANU Intrepid Landcare is mobilising the next generation of environmental leaders, growing from 128 to 150 members in just one year while delivering practical conservation across the ACT. Since 2016, the university-based youth group has planted more than 1,500 native plants, tackled weeds and supported threatened species conservation, including habitat restoration for the Glossy Black Cockatoo. By combining hands-on landcare with social events, youth-led projects and advocacy, the group is helping young people connect with nature, build confidence and turn eco-anxiety into meaningful action.
