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, organize 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.
