About
Since 1998 Port Macquarie Landcare Group has been regenerating remnant bushland reserves, restoring whole ecosystems to maintain biodiversity: the native plants, creatures and natural systems that support all life, including people. Volunteers control weeds and plant native seedlings where needed. The group provides tools, PPE, training and insurance, and funds its work through competitive grants.
The group also runs a Community Nursery producing 40,000 local provenance native plants a year, for its own plantings and for sale to Council, developers, farmers and residents. It grows plants for the Weed Swaps and Backyard Bushcare programs. Port Macquarie Landcare works in partnership with Council and NPWS.
Volunteers of any age and background are welcome, for bushland work, the nursery, administration and many other roles. Visit landcareportmac.com.au.
