Actively caring for the land and water that sustains us in Queanbeyan and in surrounding regions since 1995
Welcome to Queanbeyan Landcare
We are a local not-for-profit community group that cares for our local environment.
We plan projects, plant native species, remove invasive weeds, organise funding and resources, advocate to council and governments on environmental issues and provide information and connections with like-minded organisations.
Our aim is to make Queanbeyan a better place to live by preserving and restoring our natural landscapes and native species. Our focus is on making a positive difference, protecting and caring for native plants and animals, and enjoying ourselves along the way.

Current Projects
Find out about our current rehabilitation projects for our local area. These include Bicentennial Park, Fernleigh Park, Mt Jerrabomberra & Stringy Bark Ridge, and along the Queanbeyan River.
Membership in 2026 is free
We have undertaken almost 40 environmental rehabilitation projects, removing rubbish, planting trees, shrubs and grasses, fencing, weeding, providing for recreational access, and maintaining sites over time. We couldn’t have achieved this without the power of our amazing members and volunteers.
Do you have a love for the environment and want to join us?
