Greater Sydney Landcare aims to be the regional umbrella organisation for Landcare, Bushcare and other ‘care’ groups and individuals in Greater Sydney.

This means we can be a regional VOICE, representing our members’ interests at the State and National levels. We do this by hearing your concerns, via regular member consultations or you contact us (details below) about an issue you have. Once we collect your issues or concerns, we can send it up through the Landcare Network to a State Landcare Council where a regional representative can voice your concerns, and our state level representatives can pass it on to additional state-level decision makers or politicians.

Additionally, there are annual events where Landcare representatives can mingle with politicians with the Parliamentary Friends of Landcare Group. If you would like to attend one of these events, please register your interest.

We aim to develop partnerships with members and other individuals, groups or organisations so that we can support each other in environmental protection, restoration and enhancement. We can do this by joining forces in applying for grants, improving our chances of gaining the funding required to undertake regionally significant environmental projects.

We provide networking opportunities for members through meetings, events and other activities. Events we organise include on-ground restoration works, network meetings, science seminars, training sessions and workshops.

We like to provide a bridge between professional and non-professional organisations working for environmental outcomes and, between anyone else (individual, group or organisation) who would benefit from being in contact with the same – assuming goals and objectives are the same.

We support members’ Landcare and Bushcare activities and events through sponsorship.

We will receive and assist with management of project funds on behalf of member groups. We can do that as we are incorporated and are not subject to end of financial year obligations to spend money i.e. we can roll over funds from one financial year to the next, assuming the grant timeframe allows for this.

We can help you source a suitable grant, and even provide assistance in applying for it.

We may even have a funded project that can help you with your project requirements. For example, our Creating Canopies project has FREE trees available to many parts of Greater Sydney (minimum 100).

We are a team of:

• 2 x part-time Local Landcare Coordinators
• 1 x Project Manager
• 1 x Project Coordinator
• 1 x Volunteer Engagement Officer (Creating Canopies Project)
• 1 x casual Project Officer (Streamwatch Program)
• 1 x Koala Officer (Southwest Sydney Koala Project / Cumberland Plain Restoration Program).
