Congratulations to the 2019 Victorian Junior Landcare and Biodiversity Grant Recipients:

On 18 September 2019, the Victorian Government announced $451,149 in funding to support 128 projects through the 2019 Victorian Junior Landcare and Biodiversity Grants, being delivered in partnership with Landcare Australia.

Grants of up to $5,000 each are supporting Victorian primary and secondary schools; kindergartens; pre-schools; childcare centres; Scouts and Guides; and other youth groups, including: specialist schools; and groups working with culturally and linguistically diverse communities.

Funded projects are supporting the next generation of Landcarers to protect biodiversity through on-ground action, and improve and restore habitat for Victoria’s native plants and animals. Many of the projects include activities that provide both environmental and educational outcomes, along with health and social benefits.
