The Stanley Landcare Committee are pleased to share the Landcare Victoria 2026 Annual Report and to thank everyone in the community who contributed to initiatives and/or attended events through the past year!
The projects conducted across the Stanley area have been particularly rewarding, and include those which have helped to revitalise our local environment, combat introduced weeds using new initiatives, enable numerous planting/revegetation events, and a range of other events to increase engagement within the community.
