Looking forward to sharing some great new projects that we are brewing thanks to this initiative Landcare NSW Local Land Services NSW

Landcare NSW is very excited to share that $10 Million Phase 3 Grants for the NSW Landcare Enabling Program (LEP) have been announced by Minister for Agriculture, Tara Moriarty.

These grants will be administered by Local Land Services and supported by Landcare NSW over the next 12 months, helping Landcare groups deliver practical, community-led environmental projects across the state.

Phase 3 of the LEP will see 22 projects delivered through 11 Landcare region, with each region receiving two grants. The grants align with two key priorities:

1. Innovation and climate adaptation
2. Culturally informed landscape management

Landcare NSW Chair, Steve Bunnell said:

“When governments invest in Landcare, they are investing in people, partnerships, and long-term environmental outcomes. That’s what makes Landcare such a powerful and enduring force across New South Wales.”

NSW Landcare Enabling Program Manager, Jodie Lovell said:

“These grants will give Landcare groups across the state the support they need to expand their work, deliver innovative projects, and create stronger partnerships with Aboriginal communities.

“From improving climate resilience and protecting native species to sharing cultural knowledge and restoring ecosystems, these projects will deliver lasting benefits across entire landscapes.”

Brunswick Valley Landcare is postponing this year’s 15th annual Mother’s Day community tree planting scheduled for Sunday 10 May.

These last few weeks of rain, with a little more yet to come, have meant that important site prep work and delivery of materials essential for another successful planting have simply not been possible.

Don’t worry mum’s – we won’t leave you hanging – we’ve got eyes on the radar like hawks. Still wishing you all a Happy Mother’s Day for Sunday. On the bright side, we’ll celebrate you again as soon as we can make it work to come together and plant trees with the usual fun and style.

We’ll announce a new date ASAP so keep your eyes on The Echo and BVL socials. BVL extends sincere thanks to our community of supporters.
