Intrepid Landcare Inspiring the next generation of Landcarers, Intrepid Landcare empowers young people to contribute and lead on stuff that matters to them! Intrepid Landcare

Intrepid Landcare is a national network of initiatives led by young people who are working in the space of environmental conservation and sustainable agriculture. Co-founded by National Young Landcare Ambassadors Megan Lee (Rowlatt) and Naomi Edwards, Intrepid Landcare aims to provide a common space to connect, inspire and empower young Australians to join local environmental initiatives in their

communities and across the world. The concept builds on the highly successful Illawarra and Gold Coast Intrepid Landcare models, which are connecting young people across the Illawarra and Gold Coast regions to adventurous conservation projects in Landcare and other environmental movements. Intrepid Landcare pushes the boundaries of the traditional Landcare model in Australia and has evolved into a highly dynamic, multifaceted initiative that embraces the energy, passion and creativity of young people in communities across Australia. By focusing on equipping young Australians with the right knowledge and experiences they can contribute, drive and lead environmental initiatives that are relevant and interesting to them. Intrepid Landcare educates, enables and inspires young people in communities to contribute to environmental volunteer opportunities all over Australia and the world. With our partners, we provide a platform to promote all environmental volunteer opportunities for young people across Australia. Through our Intrepid Landcare Leadership retreats, workshops and resources we aim to build the capacity of local and regional Landcare networks and young people in communities across Australia to harness their passion for the environment, connect youth with local and national environmental mentors, and help identify local on-ground projects that they can contribute to in their local area. We also offer the assistance to help set up a sustainable on-going local support network for young people and offer coaching services to young leaders to drive local projects and initiatives in their communities. We believe now is the time to embrace a way forward to inspire young Australians to connect with their local communities and protect the environment, but not ignore the fun stuff along the way. Protecting the environment is bloody hard work, but it can be damn good fun too ;)

2026 Victorian Landcare
Forum Day 1!!!

We have 3 reps 😃 from UGIL (Jake, Jess, & Annette)
at this years held in Cardinia
on Bunurong Country.

We attended presentations listening and meeting so
many amazing Landcarers from across our state today,
with the ✨highlight✨ being the panel on 'engaging
young people in Landcare' where we heard from Intrepid Landcare's own Zali from Mornington Peninsula Intrepid Landcare, Francesca from Urban Guerrillas, Jess from
Coexist Victoria, and Jye from Poa Social Club.

They explored the barriers young adults face when
volunteering and ways in which we can engage and
retain participants in environmental volunteering
spaces.

Can't wait for what tomorrow brings!

We're so proud of Zali from Mornington Peninsula Intrepid Landcare, who'll be on the panel at this year's Victorian Landcare Forum, hosted by Landcare Victoria🌱

She'll be joining Co-Exist Australia, Urban Guerrillas, and Bass Coast Landcare Network to talk about youth and next gen involvement in Landcare, since this is exactly the kind of conversation we care about most. What keeps younger people engaged, how intergenerational mentoring actually works, and what needs to change to carry this movement forward over the next 40 years.

If you're at the Forum, go find these young leaders and give them some support. Monday 31 August, 1:40pm💚

That's a wrap on Landcare Week 2026. 🌱

This week we shone a light on just five of the local groups doing incredible things for young people and Country: Gippsland Intrepid Landcare, Upper Goulburn Intrepid Landcare, Eurobodalla Intrepid Landcare, Mornington Peninsula Intrepid Landcare, and ANU Intrepid Landcare. We also know that Hunter Intrepid Landcare, Illawarra Intrepid Landcare, North West Intrepid Landcare Group, North East Melbourne Intrepid Landcare, Mallee Intrepid Landcare, Brisbane Intrepid Landcare, Perth Intrepid Landcare, and Tasmanian Student Landcare Association were also hard at work.

Plant and dance nights, sunrise swims, beach care, bush walks, weekend road trips. Five very different weeks. One shared reason for doing it.

None of this happens by accident. It happens because you keep showing up, weekend after weekend, for your local patch of Country and for each other.

And it's bigger than just us. Landcare Australia, National Landcare Network, Co-Exist Australia, Wattle, Urban Guerrillas, BirdLife Australia, Bees And Blossoms , Wyld Projects, Young Farmers Connect… the list goes on. Landcare Week only works because so many people are pulling in the same direction.

Thank you to every single one of you. This is what Landcare's future looks like, and we could not be more proud to be part of it. We see you. We acknowledge you. We appreciate you. 💚

Do stuff that matters! 🌱

Second last day of Landcare Week, and today it's all about ANU Intrepid Landcare . 🦋🏕️

These guys have packed 12 events into the first six months of 2026 - but the one that really got us was their overnight trip to . Fellow Intrepid Landcarer India hosted 11 of them down on the NSW South Coast for a weekend of camping, w**ding, shoreline rehab, watching the dawn come up over ... and yes, a couple of them went for a cheeky dip too. 🌊

Just a really lovely weekend doing good things with good people.

Oh, and there may or may not be a second trip to the Bluies in the works. Just saying. 😉

Go give them a follow - you won't regret it. 💚

"Making conservation accessible, memorable and fun." 🌿

Well said, Mornington Peninsula Intrepid Landcare - that's what we're all about! This Landcare Week, we're shining a light on what the Morn Pen Crew have been up to 🤩

Spotlighting walks through Woods Bushland Reserve, a guided bush walk with renowned botanist Leon Costermans, and a super successful Planting Party with Mornington Peninsula Koala Conservation. Every event connecting young people with nature, with their community, and with each other. 💚

Give them a follow and get along to their next one if you can!

How is your going??!! 🦎🌾🌤️
We love getting any chance we can to acknowledge the importance of landcare for young adults to connect with each other and to Country.
Check out what Eurobodalla Intrepid Landcare has been doing in this space: "Eurobodalla Intrepid Landcare has been collaborating with local and regional groups to make new connections and learn about Narooma’s estuary system. The Wagonga Inlet is a significant environmental, cultural and recreational landscape, and Intrepid Landcare has helped with planting, w**d control and litter collection over the past 12 months. We were lucky to have ANU Intrepid Landcare make the trip to help care for the inlet and learn about other related environmental projects. We also worked alongside Wagonga Landcare who showed us the good work their group has been contributing to the estuary."
Looking forward to seeing more collabs in the future 🙌

It's day three of and today we celebrate Upper Goulburn Intrepid Landcare 🌳🐦
With all their fun and activities, here is their take on the last 12 months: "Here at Upper Goulburn Intrepid Landcare, we have had an incredible 2025-26. Over the past 12 months or so, we have delivered six events and collaborated with three neighbouring Landcare groups, bringing young people from the Goulburn Broken CMA together to care for the environment. Our events have comprised of canoeing and w**ding, social hiking, tree planting and camping, bike rides and litter picking, and a road trip across to Willomavin for a community planting day. We’re incredibly proud of our group's enthusiasm, dedication, and willingness to get involved, and we’re excited to continue growing our impact and creating more opportunities for regional young people to connect with Landcare throughout the year."
We can't wait to see what they get up to next! Give them a follow and join in!

Happy Landcare Week to everyone out there making a difference for our land and waterways 🌿🎉💚
Today, we shine a light on Gippsland Intrepid Landcare and the incredible work that they do drawing in young adults to the landcare movement via their wizz-bang Plant and Dance events!! This is what they had to say about last years event: "Our Plant & Dance 2025 was a fantastic day filled with big smiles, peaks of sunshine and plenty of teamwork. Our volunteers rolled up their sleeves to plant a massive 2,500 native seedlings at a Briagolong property which will increase the critical habitat and local biodiversity. We backed up a days planting with dinner, conversations and then boogied the night away to some foot stomping music played by local artists. It was a merry, rewarding experience that showed how small actions can grow into something tremendous. Our 2026 Plant & Dance will be held at a property in Outtrim”.
And by all accounts, their Outtrim event last weekend was a raging success!!! Keep up the great work 😍
