Greater Sydney Local Land Services has released the latest Landcare and Bushcare survey results. The State of Bushcare and Landcare in Greater Sydney 2021/22 report highlighted how integral our Landcare and Bushcare volunteers are to the enhancement, maintenance and protection of Sydney’s unique and beautiful bushland. 
The report shows that community health and wellbeing, citizen science, specialist skills and community education are additional benefits that environmental volunteers provide our region.

Across the region, nearly 900 groups were engaged in bushcare or landcare activities, with 7,100 regular volunteers and 11,791 one-off volunteers. In the 2021/22 financial year, landcare and bushcare volunteers contributed more than 180,000 hours of environmental work. This equates to an incredible $7.8 million in in-kind labour costs.
