Urban Landcare

Health, Wealth and Resilience - Benefits of Urban Landcare from the ACT Experience 

29-08-2022 16:09

The ACT’s urban Landcare community is rich, with over 70 community-led groups, several government agencies, and over 6000 volunteers. Landcare ACT and the Commissioner for Sustainability and the Environment ACT have been working on ways to raise awareness among the broader community regarding the huge variety of urban Landcare work in Canberra and to highlight the various benefits of Landcare both to individuals and society as a whole.

Through a range of case studies from Landcare ACT and members, speakers Karissa Preuss, Maxine Cooper, and Miranda Gardner showcase the range of opportunities and benefits of Landcare in an urban setting — including financial, ecological, health and wellbeing, knowledge and skills, and disaster resilience/recovery. They go on to examine the model that has evolved for Landcare in the ACT to make this possible, one which relies on multi-sector partnerships to enable government and community to work together.
