| What is Landcare / Parkcare? Landcare
and Parkcare is about community and government working together, to
reduce land and water degradation to develop sustainable land use. Our
environment is naturally fragile and damages easily. Sustainable land
use helps keep our land and water healthy and productive, so we don’t
risk
- loss of plant and animal species and habitats
- a decline in soil and water quality and quantity, leading to
losses in agricultural production
Why should I care?
We all depend on the land for the food we eat, the water we drink,
the clothes we wear, and our housing and recreation needs. We all need
to work together to care for our land, to maintain our standard of
living and to keep food costs down.
How can I support Landcare and Parkcare?
- support the rural and urban community through understanding
soil, water and habitat problems and challenges
- sponsor a Landcare project through Landcare Australia Limited
(it’s tax deductible)
- donate money to the Landcare Australia Foundation for a Landcare
project in your State or Territory.
