The future of Landcare has been assured with the announcement that a Minn’s Labor Government will boost its funding to a record $59 million over the next four years to support the 60,000 volunteers, 3000 local groups and 84 full-time coordinators across NSW.
The announcement will ensure the grassroots volunteer organisation can get more boots on the ground to restore natural environments; expanding their program to attract and coordinate more volunteers, increase engagement with young people, and more quickly identify and tackle local environment issues.
