The 2023/2024 South Australia Landcare Awards are back for another year. These awards aim to recognise the outstanding contributions made by individuals, groups and organisations involved in Landcare.

We have TEN Landcare Award categories (listed below), recognising South Aussies who actively engage in climate action and work to create healthier, more resilient and productive landscapes and communities. From volunteers, Landcare groups and other environmental community groups, to farmers and landholders; from First Nations peoples to the next generation of Landcarers, the Landcare Awards program acknowledges the diverse range of individuals and organisations committed to addressing local environmental issues.

Nominations closed March 1st.
